Abstract

Context is influential when acquiring workplace learning, especially reflective skills. The following is a qualitative inquiry regarding a supervision group of novices developing reflective practice in the field of team facilitation. Using public reflection as a way of making thinking explicit, participants engaged in a mutual process of meaning making. The inquiry employed an instrumental case study approach. Data sets included debriefing sessions, individual, and group interviews covering the lifespan of the group. These data illuminated the developing reflective skills and the unfolding value processes embedded within the team’s social interactions. The patterns demonstrated that novices could collectively increase the explicit expression of reflective thought linked to practice. Values acted as tacit rules promoting, governing, and shaping social interactions, supporting reflective practice.
