Abstract
This chapter highlights the relevance of Stephen Brookfield’s work in adult education to enhance the teaching of critical reflection in social work. In applying the ideas of critical theorists to education, Brookfield has made a significant contribution to developing critical pedagogy in a way that holds important implications for social work education and practice. In particular, his work is helpful for assisting social workers to practise and teach critical reflection critically. An example of the application of Brookfield’s model of critical reflection is presented in relation to the author’s own teaching practice when she outlines her work in assisting a student to critically reflect on their practice, while also demonstrating her own parallel critical reflection process on her own teaching practice.
