Reflectivness


I think that teachers find it hard to reflect on many things because they are nervous that they wont reflect the right way. They wont reflect in a way that the students can handle or that they want their mind to thing. Some people think that reflection is the main key essential when it comes to teaching. That if you sit and reflect on something that went wrong, this means that it is going to go perfect for you the next time you teach. I think that this isn’t the way to reflect on things, that you should reflect on them and try something different and inherit others ideas.
Reflection on one's own work is a key component of being a professional and is essential to teacher education. Teachers must examine their beliefs, assumptions and biases regarding teaching and learning, and determine how those beliefs influence classroom practice. Teachers should examine any cultural baggage they may carry in order to evaluate its appropriateness in teaching. Furthermore, since teaching is often an uncertain, dynamic and complex practice, teachers must make constant judgments about appropriate goals, teaching methods and students' learning.
