In the current academic environment we need to become truly reflexive practitioners in order to contribute to the ever-changing landscape in which we find ourselves. This paper describes a tri-view model for reflexive practice. This model represents an integration of the intra-view (our own personal quest), the inter-view (the process of questioning each other) and the trans-view (the paradigms of the collectives to which we belong). The integration of these three view points allows us to actively seek, or ‘quest’ for, new perspectives and new understanding which are fundamental to the process of change.
