Education is a field that aims to assist future teachers in developing a deep understanding of various learning processes and approaches. Students pursuing their studies in the field of education are supposed to be the educational experts in the near future. So, during their stay at universities they are trained to effectively handle all teaching and learning problems in order to improve the overall educational standards nationwide. Research in education must also revolve around identifying the problems in the current educational systems and finding their solutions. Throughout the research project, the only thing that must remain under discussion is the topic of the dissertation.

If you are interested in building a classroom culture where thinking is noticed, named and celebrated, there are three books which make essential reading.

The books are the result of ongoing research by Harvard's Project Zero and their lead author Ron Ritchhart.

This traditional pedagogy results in students developing a negative attitude towards mathematics. Many develop a mathematical phobia and believe that they are not a "maths person". When confronted by challenging mathematics they retreat and have no or only poor strategies with which to approach new ideas. This all leads to a decline in the number of students pursuing mathematical learning beyond the years where it is compulsory. Fortunately there is a growing body of research that shows there is a better way. 

It is generally accepted that learning is enhanced by the inclusion of deliberate, reflective practice. Indeed the act of reflecting on the impact that our actions have towards the achievement of any goal (learning oriented or other) is shown to have a positive impact. Reflective practice is defined as the praxis (interdependent and integrated theory, practice, research, thought and action) of individuals or groups to move from 'better thinking to better action' as a result of reflection for, in and on learning (Harvey et al. 2010 p140). With this in mind, it is worth considering what reflective practice might look like and to consider it in a range of contemporary contexts.
