Using Reflection to Identify Teacher Development Needs

In this task, we first outline what reflection is and propose reasons for participation in reflection. Then we identify three important themes in the reflection journal and explore these topics using a theoretical model and critical analysis. Then I will summarize my development and determine the future professional development needs. "Recursive practice is understood as a process of learning to gain new insight into self and practice through experience" (Boud et al. 1985; Boyd and Fales, 1983; Mezirow, 1981, Jarvis, 1992) .

Determining the critical and reflexive thinking skills of science teacher candidates is important to determine the areas and abilities they need to emphasize in education. Securing candidate teachers - Future teachers - The necessary critical and introspective thinking skills will have a big positive impact on their training. It is therefore important to identify and use effective means to evaluate these thinking skills of teacher candidates. In this context, the purpose of this research is to determine the critical and introspective thinking skills of science teacher candidates.

We have developed a teacher reflection model to show how religious educators approach teacher reflection in a way to contribute to ongoing professional development from recent qualitative studies of full-time seminar teacher 's reflection practice. This study aims to better understand the way that teachers decide the deliberated practices of specialized seminar teachers and think that these practices will affect their professional development. 71 full-time seminary teachers took part in the research through online surveys where 6 teachers participated in observations and interviews. The six teachers also provided documents such as copies of professional journal writing samples and professional development plans for further analysis.

Most of the potential reflection practices that S & I professional seminary teacher himself finds will promote or support reflection of the dialogue. These practices include observing other teachers and supervisors, observing teachers' teachers, hosting service meetings, exploring higher education, browsing S & I manuals and materials, and professional development programs Use is included. Participation in vocational conferences, participation in vocational learning communities (ie, apprenticeship seminars and "groups"), discussion of teaching practice with colleagues, joint planning courses, guides for learning, review of course plans, and reading of professional journals
