Adding It All Up: Infographic Meta-Reflections on the Teaching of Writing
Pytash, Kristine; Testa, Elizabeth
English Education, v52 n2 p135-161 Jan 2020
Many teacher education programs consider reflection to be critical as preservice teachers appropriate tools related to the teaching of writing. The purpose of this research was to explore three preservice teachers' analysis of written reflections that they composed while taking a writing methods course embedded in two field experience sites. The following research questions guided the study: (1) What themes did preservice teachers identify in their reflective writing?; and (2) What do their meta-reflections demonstrate about their learning to teach writing? This study provides implications for how preservice teachers can develop into reflective writing practitioners.
