Book excerpt: This qualitative study aimed to understand how student teachers reflected on their teaching practice during their student teaching semester and their perceptions on using reflection as a tool to develop their teaching practices. One hundred and twenty-four written and oral reflections by fifteen student teachers were analyzed to categorize their reflections. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with four participants to gain an in-depth understanding of their perceptions on reflection. The findings showed that student teachers' reflections addressed five main themes (instruction, management, relationships, learning experiences, and characteristics of effective teachers), spanned four types (summary, descriptive, comparative, and transformative), and that student teachers structured their written and oral reflection in various ways, including (multiple types and multiple themes, one type with multiple themes, multiple types with one theme, and one type and one theme). Student teachers' perceptions on reflection focused on process and outcome. It is important to note that even though student teachers reflect in different themes, types, or structures, they see reflective thinking assignments as a useful tool to help them develop their teaching practices. Reflection on their own practice helped student teachers look back to see if there was any problem happened so that they could connect to their knowledge and take action to develop their teaching practices. The study has important implications for teacher educators, teacher preparation programs, cooperating teachers, and student teachers. Teacher educators can encourage student teachers to recognize that reflective thinking is a common process for learning from their own experiences. The knowledge of themes, types, structures, and perceptions of reflection can be used to inform how teacher educators should assign reflection assignments for student teachers. Future research can be done on various factors such as types of reflection assignments, duration of time to collect the data, groups of participants, or the use of contemplative practices to help student teachers focus more on their reflective practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this much needed resource, Maryellen Weimer-one of the nation's most highly regarded authorities on effective college teaching-offers a comprehensive work on the topic of learner-centered teaching in the college and university classroom. As the author explains, learner-centered teaching focuses attention on what the student is learning, how the student is learning, the conditions under which the student is learning, whether the student is retaining and applying the learning, and how current learning positions the student for future learning. To help educators accomplish the goals of learner-centered teaching, this important book presents the meaning, practice, and ramifications of the learner-centered approach, and how this approach transforms the college classroom environment. Learner-Centered Teaching shows how to tie teaching and curriculum to the process and objectives of learning rather than to the content delivery alone.

Download or read book Student Feedback on Teaching in Schools written by Wolfram Rollett and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides a comprehensive and informative overview of the current state of research about student perceptions of and student feedback on teaching. After presentation of a new student feedback process model, evidence concerning the validity and reliability of student perceptions of teaching quality is discussed. This is followed by an overview of empirical research on the effects of student feedback on teachers and instruction in different contexts, as well as on factors promoting the successful implementation of feedback in schools. In summary, the findings emphasize that student perceptions of teaching quality can be a valid and reliable source of feedback for teachers. The effectiveness of student feedback on teaching is significantly related to its use in formative settings and to a positive feedback culture within schools. In addition, it is argued that the effectiveness of student feedback depends very much on the support for teachers when making use of the feedback. As this literature review impressively documents, teachers in their work - and ultimately students in their learning - can benefit substantially from student feedback on teaching in schools. “This book reviews what we know about student feedback to teachers. It is detailed and it is a pleasure to read. To have these chapters in one place – and from those most up to date with the research literature and doing the research - is a gift.” John Hattie

Download or read book Supporting Teachers written by Jennifer L. Amos and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introspective, cognitive act of reflection is linked with professional growth for teachers (National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, 2010; National Council on Teaching America's Future, 2009; Learning Forward, 2009). However, current federal, state, and local mandates, policies, structures, and procedures in schools do not always mirror this knowledge or emphasize the need for teachers to be reflective. When teachers reflect on their classroom practices and student learning, they are better prepared to make adjustments and changes to meet their students' needs. Individual and collective reflection can yield greater results when structures within the school day support reflective practice. This study investigates teachers' perceptions regarding reflective practice and how principals can support this work. The research questions framing this work are:1. How do teachers describe the role of reflection in their own professional learning and practice 2. How do teachers describe their principal's role in supporting reflective practice? This qualitative study included 12 teacher participants from 3 demographically different high schools in one region of New York State. Findings included implications for principals regarding school-day structure, overt emphasis on reflective thinking, professional development, and professional learning communities. Findings also included recommendations for educational policy to restructure supports to assist schools in meeting state and federal mandates.

This book was released on 2010-03-16 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very little information about the impact of reflection on teacher performance, teacher retention, and student learning is available in teacher preparation programs. This book provides practical and research-based chapters that offer greater clarity about the particular kinds of reflection that matter and avoids talking about teacher reflection generically, which implies that all kinds of reflection are of equal value. This book addresses five very pertinent concepts: (1) teacher reflectivity in theory and research, (2) teacher reflectivity in teacher education programs, (3) teacher reflectivity with teacher candidates, (4) teacher reflectivity in schools and classrooms, and (5) teacher reflectivity and international perspectives.

Download or read book The Power of Reflection in Teacher Education and Professional Development written by Fred Korthagen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-11 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on years of extensive research on teacher development, this book offers a practical introduction to the concept of teacher reflection, demonstrating how student teachers can engage with reflective learning from their teaching and classroom experiences in a systematic and inspiring way. Providing practical models and guidelines for use in the classroom, renowned teacher educators Fred Korthagen and Ellen Nuijten outline various strategies for promoting reflection and illustrate how a deeper form of reflection ・ ‘core reflection’ ・ enhances awareness of professional identity and supports the dismantling of inner obstacles, therefore enhancing social justice and empowering diverse student populations. The authors demonstrate how a trajectory for learning can be designed to develop key competencies, as well as the role played by university- and school-based teacher educators in supporting teachers’ self-directed reflection. Featuring a variety of tools that support professional growth, this unique text demystifies the area of teacher reflection, helping to provide concrete and inspiring examples for how to strengthen professional identity based on everyday challenges faced by practitioners. The Power of Reflection in Teacher Education and Professional Development is therefore an essential guide for students, in-service teachers, and teacher educators alike, as well as for anyone in the helping professions.

Book excerpt: "This qualitative, phenomenological research study was designed to study the impact reflection has on student teachers. This study examines how and if reflection changes teaching practice. Specifically, how do student teachers use reflection to change practices during student teaching experiences? "Critical reflection is the process by which adults identify the assumptions governing their actions, locate the historical and cultural origins of the assumptions, question the meaning of assumptions, and develop alternative ways of acting" (Cranton 1996, p. 211). After conducting thorough interviews, the following themes emerged: 1. Time, 2. Perspective, 3. Reflective process. With the findings of this study, teacher education programs and schools alike will understand the dynamics of reflection, the difficulties that arise, and the need for creating sound reflective practices, which will support the continuing efforts of reflection in order to change teaching practice."--Abstract.
