| Concrete. Reflections are meant to give your reader some context for the materials. Provide nuts-and-bolts information such as, what class the material was for, the type of students (majors or non-majors, what grade-level), what sources you looked to for ideas, what was the result for student learning, and what would you change in the future.
The Revision Process: The following exercises are meant to help you formulate ideas and therefore you will probably write much more than is necessary. Once you have a draft of your reflection, revise it by keeping only what is necessary to provide a context for your reader. The type of context you want to provide will depend both on your audience and your own teaching philosophy. For example, your readers may be very interested in what types of students you have taught, and therefore a description of them will be important to include. Other readers might be more interested in the format of your teaching, for example, how you conduct a lab session. Finally, others might be more interested in your grading practices. Each of your reflections could touch on one or two aspects of your teaching that you most want to highlight. Writing two pages on everything you considered when writing your syllabus is too much. Finally, make sure that the reflections tie into some aspect of your teaching philosophy. Readers want to know that you “practice what you preach.” One strategy could be to have each reflection tie into a different aspect of this philosophy. Another could be to have a continuous thread running throughout (e.g., promoting active learning, fostering an equitable classroom, etc.). The possibilities are as varied as each teaching philosophy, and therefore there is no correct format. What should be characteristic of all reflections however, are “the Three C’s”, they should always be Clear, Concise, and Concrete (see above). tải về 45.5 Kb. Chia sẻ với bạn bè của bạn:
