Striving to Practice What We Preach: Academics reflecting on teaching reflective practice

That reflection is part of the HRD academics’ continuing professional development is a powerful rhetoric. But to what extent are we guilty of hypocrisy? Inspired by the title and theme of the conference ‘HRD: Reflecting upon the Past, Shaping the Future’ this paper seeks to make a critically reflective statement on our own practice as HRD academics teaching and researching reflective practice. Researching ‘practising what we preach’, in the context of reflective practice, raises difficult questions but offers the potential for valuable insight into the HRD academics’ professional practice.
