Research paper thumbnail of Exploring dimensions of artistry in reflective practice

Reflective Practice, 2006

This paper explores concepts of artistry and the relevance of artistry for professional practice,... more This paper explores concepts of artistry and the relevance of artistry for professional practice, especially in those disciplines concerned with educating reflective practitioners and promoting reflective practice. Through a review of key literature, we connect reflective practice with practice wisdom, professional artistry, and a new construct of judgement artistry. This construct has been elucidated in recent doctoral research conducted in the field of occupational therapy by the first author, who was supervised by the other authors. Using an interpretive qualitative approach, this hermeneutic research involved 53 participants from four countries (Australia, Britain, Canada and New Zealand). During focus group sessions and individual interviews the participants were asked to describe how they conceptualized their judgement processes and to detail their observations of expert reasoning in others. We highlight reflexivity, one of the dimensions of judgement artistry with particular significance for professionals committed to reflective practice.

Research paper thumbnail of Challenging Performative Fabrication: Seeking authenticity in academic development practice

International Journal for Academic Development, 2007

This paper explores tensions between individual desires to enact the work of academic development... more This paper explores tensions between individual desires to enact the work of academic development practice in ways that foster authenticity, and the pressure to fabricate proper identities in the service of the performative university. Through auto-ethnographic inquiry, three academic developers together ask, "How are we and our practices true to who we are, to our colleagues and university, and to the purposes of higher education?" Our writing aims to encourage reflection on the moral and ethical dimensions of the work of academic development. Our discussion identifies particular individual and collective strategies of healing and transformation that will lead academics, and academic developers, toward a more authentic practice. Cet article explore les tensions existant entre les désirs individuels de « pratiquer » le développement pédagogique de façon à susciter l'authenticité, et la pression visant à forger des identités propres au service de l'université performative. Par l'entremise d'une étude auto-ethnographique, trois conseillers pédagogiques se sont posé la question : « Comment, nous et nos pratiques, sommes-nous fidèles à nous-mêmes, à nos collègues et à notre université, ou aux buts de l'enseignement supérieur ? ». Notre article vise à encourager la réflexion au sujet des dimensions morales et éthiques du travail de développement pédagogique. Notre discussion identifie des stratégies individuelles et collectives de réparation et de transformation qui mèneront les universitaires et les conseillers pédagogiques vers une pratique plus authentique.
