Dewey’s ideas about reflection are really helpful for student teachers. Here’s how they can help us grow:
Being Actively Involved: Dewey says that reflection isn’t just thinking about what happened; it’s about really getting into our experiences. As student teachers, we should examine our teaching moments closely. We need to figure out what worked and what didn’t.
Learning Through Experience: His view of learning means we should see every lesson as a chance to learn. We can change our teaching methods based on real feedback from our students and what we notice ourselves.
Getting Better All the Time: Dewey's idea of reflection being a cycle helps us remember that we can always improve. After each teaching experience, looking back at what we did helps us grow and make our teaching even better.
By using these ideas in our teaching practice, we not only get better at teaching, but we also learn how to keep growing throughout our lives.
