Enhancing Student Teacher Reflective Practice through Poetry
Cowin, Kathleen M.
New Educator, v8 n4 p308-320 2012
This article describes a seminar process in which poetry is used with student teachers to provide a focal point for reflection and introspection. Through this reflection process, students have been able to reflect deeply and personally on their student-teaching experiences, on their own personalities in the context of those experiences, and on their relationships with their own students and cooperating teachers. The article includes a description and example of the seminar process used as well as examples of students' reflections. The literature review includes descriptions of alternative methods of using poetry as a reflective tool.
