About this exposition

Introduction ​​The purpose of this article is to conceptualize the notion of reflective documentation and to illuminate how this notion might be applied in the practices of arts education and artistic research. The context for this inquiry is an Erasmus+ project entitled Pedagogy of Imaginative Dialogues (PIMDI). We will start by situating our inquiry within the aims and contents of PIMDI, and proceed by laying out some theoretical cornerstones for reflective documentation, starting with the notions of reflection and reflective practice. The other cornerstones come from more recent literature on embodied reflection and pedagogical documentation. We will arrive at a working definition of reflective documentation that, for us, extends beyond linguistic processing, and in so doing, employs multimodal and embodied practices. The practical examples are drawn from so-called intensive weeks that have been arranged as part of the PIMDI project. For fuller appreciation of the multimodal nature of reflective work and reflective documentation, we have created an exposition on Research Catalogue portal, and refer to it where appropriate. This element connects our work with artistic research which for us, is the methodological direction that we see this inquiry to be connected with. The exposition proposes a research insight where reflective documentation can be seen as a mode of artistic research as an open-ended process, that is, without the traditional requirement to to show "what really happened". The aim of this article is to explore the significance of embodied, multimodal reflective documenting processes in supporting learning and knowledge production in the context of arts education, and beyond.
