Developing Reflective Practice: Learning About Teaching And Learning Through Modelling / Edition 1

by J. John Loughran

Overview

This text presents a research study into the development of reflective practitioners in a pre-service teacher education programme. The teacher educator in the study modelled his own reflections on practice in the hope that it would help students to apply reflection to their own teaching.; The results of the author's research demonstrate that reflection on practice occurs in three distinct periods: before anticipatory, during contemporaneous and after retrospective a pedagogical experience. The book concludes that when student teachers' own learning situations, both within their university coursework and their school experiences, become the focus for their learning about teaching and learning, their understanding of, and practice in, teaching is enhanced.

Editorial Reviews

Documents the results of a longitudinal research study into the development of reflective practice in a group of student-teachers during a pre-service education program. Excerpts from journals and interviews offer insights on how student-teachers learn about reflection, how they develop reflection on their own teaching, and how teacher educators can be catalysts in the development of reflective practitioners.
