![]() ![]() Professional development is traditionally considered as involving participation in formal training. This applies to all professionals, working in, for example, industry, agriculture, healthcare, the service sector, and education. Dealing with such challenges demands professionalism, which means knowledge, performance, and ongoing professional development ( Messmann et al., 2010). Professionals in every field are faced with a multitude of challenges, such as globalization, digitalization, and changes in the conditions for work and work characteristics that emanate from such societal developments. The conceptual model can serve as a basis for further research on reflection in all kinds of work contexts and be used to foster professional development, for instance by developing interventions to foster reflection. ![]() For illustrating the meaning of the model’s components in a specific professional context, we used data from an interview study with eight teachers of vocational schools. This model contains the individual and contextual components which influence reflection and considers reflection to be a process containing mutually influencing emotion, motivation, and cognition which can lead to various outcomes such as performance and, consequently, innovation. From these three streams, important components are derived in the present study and integrated into one conceptual model. Regarding reflection, three different research streams can be distinguished: (I) an individual action-process-perspective, (II) a critical perspective, and (III) a social-relatedness perspective. However, a conceptual model that considers the different perspectives on reflection remains missing. Professional development requires reflection. 3Faculty of Human Sciences, University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany.2Faculty of Business and Economics, TU Dresden, Dresden, Germany.1Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Media and Computer Science, OTH Amberg-Weiden, Amberg, Germany. ![]() Mandy Hommel 1 * Bärbel Fürstenau 2 Regina H. ![]()
