The document discusses the importance of reflection as a metacognitive strategy for teachers to evaluate their teaching practices and improve their teaching styles. It highlights the necessity of self-observation, peer observation, and gaining student feedback to identify patterns and enhance learning experiences. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for regular reflection and adjustment of lesson plans based on teaching outcomes.

1. TEACHER’S
REFLECTION

2. OR
WHY?

3. Reflection is a metacognitive
strategy that helps teachers to
think critically upon their
experiences, actions and
decisions during their teaching
practices.

4. Reflective practice helps teachers
to have a deeper understanding
of their own teaching styles.
As we reflect, we will better
understand our role as teachers!

5. PROCESS OF SELF-OBSERVATION
AND
SELF-EVALUATION

6. Teacher should evaluate each lesson
Did things go as planned ?
What went well ?
What could be improved ?
Was preparation adequate ?
Were objectives fulfilled ?
Was the lesson relevant to the objective ?
Did the lesson develop logically ?
Were students motivated and interested ?

7.  According to Bailey (1997)

8. Creating:
What should I
do next?
Evaluating:
How well did I do?
Analyzing:
Do I see any patterns in
what I did?
Applying:
Where could I use this again?
Understanding:
What was important about it?
Remembering:
What did I do?

9. How to begin?
What to do next?

11. This is a place where you write
about your experiences or record
some specific teaching events,
and your feelings about them on
a periodical basis.

12. Peer observation is
the observation of teachers by the
teachers

13. Use of video-recorded lessons for
teachers' professional development
Viewing videos on their own is not
sufficient; they must be accompanied
by guidance and training

14. Receiving students feedback while
teaching can help you to know what are
you doing to facilitate the learning of the
students .

16.  Notice patterns occurring
in your teaching .
 Notice things that you
were previously unaware
of .
 Be surprised by some of
your students’ feedback .

20. Take time to reflect
upon the result, and
revise the lesson plan
accordingly!

21. Sample sentences
 Overall, this lesson went very well. I feel that the students understood everything that
was expected of them and they really did live up to my expectations.
 The next time I do this lesson I would also like to allow the students to do their own
research instead of relying so much on the materials provided in the class.
 This group of students is great! They remembered a lot from the last lesson. All of
them demonstrated eagerness to learn.
 Unfortunately, I spent so much time on the presentation stage of the lesson that we
had to rush through the other activities. Next time, I will start with the specific
information on the back of the application.

22.  I felt like I needed to include more communicative activities in the
lesson because the more timid students didn't get a chance of
speaking. By including such questions and activities they would get
more of the practice they need.
 From this experience I learned that I need to create a more open
teaching style. I must also remember to spend less time on
explanations and get right into the practice activities.
 The figures and graphs provided in the text book were very complex
to interpret from the students point of view. The next time I would
simple and easy illustrations.
