JOURNALJournals are an efective way of keeping track of diverse processes or situations. In this case, this journal will reflect the process of my teaching work. Some comments about articles posted by the instructor (professor) and what happens during the week in the classroom will be presented here. My journal entries will reveal situations, doubts, questions, suggestions, or opinions about 6th graders teaching processes. I chose them because I’ve been working with them since I started in this school.
“The instructor as a guide encouraged the student teachers to analyze their learning process and to reach conclusions about how they learn… Also, (student teachers) they became aware that the challenges they faced were not self-contained; others, including their instructor, were facing or had faced similar problems.” (A. Daloglu, Reflective Journal Writing in the Practicum Course: What are the Roles of the Responder? daloglu@metu.edu.tr )
As the extract above remarks, I expect this journals to be commented by my instructor and classmates. I think this is an outstanding tool for communication and experience sharing.
I am glad you mentioned not only your intructor but also your classmates. I believe all of you have a lot to give to each other and you should start with giving each other support through your journal entries and comments.
ResponderEliminarThat is true Shan, sometimes teachers have a lot things to do and it is difficult to remember every single detail daily. If we write them somewhere (in this specific case in our blog), we can easily remember what we had the last class or also, if we are having a problem with a student, another person can help us.
