For this blog post, I read the article “Turns of Thought” by Donna Qualley.
What is your understanding of being a reflective and reflexive researcher?
After reading this article, it states the definition of reflection is about interpreting own suppositions (and practices), by looking at own perspectives from those of others, and by subjecting own assumptions to critical review. When we reflect our thoughts, we think about it and think about how we feel about it. We can apply it not just into our writing but our teaching as well. “Reflexivity on the other hand, does not originate in the self but always occurs in response to a person’s critical engagement with an other.” Reflexive research is a response of the research that the writer can go back to examine and discover the critique’s questions and ideas.
It seems to me that you need both reflective and reflexive in your research for it to be successful. They seem to go hand in hand.
