Reflective Activity in Practice: Vignettes of Teachers' Deliberative Work.
Kruse, Sharon D.
Journal of Research and Development in Education, v31 n1 p46-60 Fall 1997
School documents, interviews, and observations were used to examine the development of middle school teachers' reflective thought. Highly reflective teachers showed greater a greater sense of efficacy in their work and ownership within classrooms and schools, always seeking innovation. Less reflective teachers emphasized classroom practice and control dilemmas. Six vignettes examine teachers' reflective practice. (SM)
