Professional Development as a Teacher: Personal Reflection

To become a teacher is not as easy as many people think. Being a teacher means not only understanding the subjects to teach but also the willingness to improve your overall abilities overall and to update the materials and materials used in that education. A way to reflect the best way to teach over and over and then analyze it and expand the knowledge students learned. The majority of the time spent in classes is sufficient to meet the administrative requirements of course planning, preparation of teaching materials, student assignment and exam review, and all the organizations we cooperate with It is not something.

In the literature on the review of teachers, aggressive personal qualities of professional development are rarely used. An important exception is Korthagen's work, which developed a recent second reflection model: Core Reflection (Korthagen & Vasalos, 2005). The starting point of reflection here is something like his early ALACT model, but supplementing it is a difficult problem, which brings a lot of heartache to the teacher. Rather than eradicating the underlying cause of the problem, it focuses on what the teacher wants to achieve and the ability of the teacher to accomplish it. Then we will focus on the positive qualities that teachers can play (calm, spontaneity, humor, etc.) and how to use them in real educational situations.

A comprehensive model of the teacher's reflection as a continuous professional development function and case description The reflection at every level contributes to the professional development of religious educators. However, if teachers learn to contemplate at various levels as a function of career development, professional development will be greatly strengthened. This level of reflection integration will enable the four related objectives mentioned earlier in this study. First of all, a teacher who can effectively integrate the four levels of "introspective behavior" will approach "introspective behavior." Hatton and Smith expressed the "ability to qualitatively distinguish various reflections (ie, techniques, explanations, dialogue, or criticisms) in certain situations that are performed" deployment, application, single or combined " It explains.

As with reflection at all levels, in order to effectively promote the development of professional capacity of religious educators, technical reflections need to be linked with reflections at other levels. When observing the teacher, he can report to colleagues and boss what happened in the class - this is a technical reflection. However, afterwards, when conducting comprehensive evaluation and exchange of opinions with colleagues or superiors (a more detailed explanation of reflection of conversation), the teacher compares and examines various perspectives, exchanges competing ideas, Change and integrate. . However, observers and teachers should be aware that the degree of confidence in the relationship between the two and the level of safety of the observed teacher have a major impact on the will and ability to improve teachers through these experiences.
