An Odyssey into Teachers' Reflection: Focus, Nature, and Scope

Outline of Project:

How teachers learn, develop, and become effective teachers is crucial because it affects students' learning. Reflection plays a significant role in teachers' professional development; it helps to develop autonomy within teachers and ensures that learning to teach goes on throughout teachers' lives. However, reflection needs substance and direction, and one cannot expect it to happen on its own. As such, a framework that clearly describes different aspects of reflection can fill in the gap in our knowledge about the 'how' and 'what' of teachers' reflection and this is the aim of this study
