Schön (1987), in raising the question of why profesionals should undertake reflective thinking, maintains that an essential component of professional practice is one's capability to decisively reflect when face with new, intricate, and diverse situations. The creation of a reflective professional who is able, through a structured scaffolded training approach, to adapt to, cope with, and learn from new situations will be in a position to support his or her own future growth and become an autopoeitic interpreting practitioner. (Bown, 2013). The module will provide the learner with the knowledge and skills to critically reflect upon their own and other's interpreting practice and continued development as a professional practitioner. Students will have the opportunity to critically discuss the essential components of reflective professional practice, including ethical approaches within the context of professional standards. Opportunities will also be afforded to develop and utlilise transferable reflective frameworks (scaffolding strategies) which can be applied in a supportive capacity with developing practitioners and peers.
