Reflecting on practice : student teachers' perspectives

Abstract

Student teachers face many challenges when they plan and practice teaching in another teacher's classroom. They soon discover that there are no sure-fire procedures for successful teaching, and that to be effective they have to plan and adjust constantly. The longstanding problem is how to do this in an informed and enjoyable way that will enhance their professional development. Reflection is providing the answer. This book aims to assist student teachers to reflect deeply upon their professional practice and the broader issues confronting school education. It is introduced with a brief chapter summarising the research literature on reflection, and another in which the 5Rs framework for reflective writing is introduced and illustrated.
