PROBLEM WITH REFLECTIVE LEARNING IS LACK OF REFLECTIVE TEACHING

In this paper I reflect on what it means to be a reflective teacher. In the first part, I focus on the importance of promoting critical skills and reflective thinking in schools, and especially in those engaged in education of future teachers. In the second part I review some personal experience with education of future teachers and then studies showing the poor state of rational thinking of the students - future teachers. In the last part I provide some views on the two most important characteristics of reflective teacher - transparency and creativity.
