Abstract
Researchers, teacher educators and practitioners involved with reflective practice tend to think and write about those things they perceive as practical. This paper delineates and details five orientations to reflective practice: the immediate, the technical, the deliberative, the dialectic and the transpersonal. Each orientation represents a notion of the practical derived not only from specific social science paradigms, but also from fundamental beliefs and values about education. Casting the five orientations as interactive, interdependent aspects of reflective practice, rather than as competing views of what is practical, provides a conceptual framework for research and practice, both within and among orientations.Keywords
