This paper addresses the utilisation of reflective practice to foster teacher professional
learning by critically reviewing recent research and other relevant literature. The paper concludes
that reflection and reflective practice are vital to teacher professional learning owing to the theorypractice gap, the research-practice gap, limitations of the managerialist approach to professional
development, and the unstable nature of the teaching career. Appropriate models and frameworks
for reflection are available for application, accompanied by the suggestions to extend reflective
practice beyond its private mode.

particularly appropriate to teacher professional
learning.
Besides, for productive reflection,
individuals need to equip themselves or to be
equipped with a certain set of skills.
Finally, RP can move out of individuals’
particular context, and it could be both mono-
and cross-cultural.
