ABSTRACT
[abstract: This chapter describes the core reflection approach. This is a holistic approach offering concrete guidelines for bringing out the best in people (students, teachers, teacher educators). Based on a combination of positive psychology and educational theories, core reflection focuses on people’s strengths and ideals. The chapter discusses how the approach helps people overcome inner obstacles to their growth. It also summarizes research studies on applications of the core reflection approach within various contexts. These studies show that core reflection can lead to a reframing of limiting beliefs and has long-term positive effects on people’s functioning, even in challenging circumstances. ]
