• W901178001 abstract "ABSTRACTThis paper explores how reflection helps teachers to grow professionally. The common held belief among teachers is that they are growing when they get experience. Although experience is very important for the teacher development, it will not help teachers to grow unless they learn from their teaching. In order to grow teachers should never allow them to be fixed with ideas, approaches and strategies, but need to keep open to the possibilities of going wrong by questioning their teaching and reflecting on their practice. Since reflection is not a spontaneous activity, it requires time, effort and personal investment from teachers. Teachers believe that their teaching automatically help learners learn; furthermore, they often feel that they understand exactly what they are doing in the class, what impact their teaching has on the learners and know their learners' needs and feeling. How is it possible if teachers never stop for a moment to analyze their teaching activities or critically examine their actions, intentions, motives and attitudes towards learning and learners? In fact, teachers keep on planning and teaching without reflecting on them because, they feel it is too difficult to reflect on their teaching. This paper argues that reflection is neither difficult nor impossible. On the contrary, teachers can reflect if they really want to do it. As reflection is regarded as a tool for professional development, different ways of doing teacher reflection are discussed in terms of both theoretical and practical terms.Keywords: reflection question critically examine professional development.INTRODUCTION:Teachers usually feel that they are growing professionally when they are acquiring experience. Experience is very important for professional development; however, it cannot alone develop teachers' professionalism. In fact, it takes the quality of experience away where working and teaching is not growing experience, but repeating the same thing or mistakes again and again. Experience should help us to grow, but it should not fossilize us in a particular pattern of behavior. If we want to grow professionally and help our learners to learn, we need to introspect ourselves, critically examine the course we teach and our teaching and retrospect our teaching activities. Experience can either be a growing experience or a mere repetition of years without adding to it or changing it. Teachers who view experience as a growing experience reflect on their own teaching in some way, which ranges from anecdotal variety to classroom data analysis. Furthermore, they question their teaching, try out new ideas and strategies and look for alternatives to do it differently next time by using intuition and experience.While most of the teachers involve in other activities as soon as they have done their lessons, very few teachers think about their recently taught lessons by questioning the events of the class and trying to find the reason or justification of the classroom activities, their decisions and actions. Those who review their lesson may feel happy and satisfied, sad, annoyed or troubled by the way it went. At times, the teachers may find something very pertinent so that they can record somewhere because it will be helpful sometime in the future.WHAT IS REFLECTION?As it is widely known, reflection is a conscious, active process of focused and structured thinking which is distinct from free floating thoughts, as in general thinking or day dreaming. Reflection is an important factor in the process of teaching and learning (Cruickshank, 1987; Grimmett & Erickson, 1988; Pollard & Tann, 1987; Russell & Munby, 1992). Although it improves learning and teaching, reflection is not spontaneous activity that happens naturally in our professions or everyday life. However, it needs actively dedicated time and effort from teachers to do reflections. In other words, reflection is not an everyday professional behavior. …" @default.
