Abstract:
One area of concern I have identified is the tendency for some researchers to focus on establishing the veracity and certainty of their findings, while neglecting the ambiguity, complexity, and contradiction that is endemic to the research process, regardless of method. I believe that to overcome temporary blind spots, researchers must create the capacity for and nurture a disposition toward being reflective. To explore that question, I ran a literature search using the keywords “researcher” and “reflection” on Proquest databases within music education and general education. I came across numerous articles or position papers in which researchers reflected on their life’s work or the contributions of research to a particular field of study but no explicit studies of researcher engagement in reflection as an essential element of their research process or day-to-day practice.
