Abstract

This paper describes a teaching practicum pedagogical model that can be used to improve preservice teachers\' reflective skills. The model primarily draws upon the idea that reflective practicum should be the key element of professional development. A customized web-based portfolio system, namely BOUNCE, that was designed based on the proposed pedagogical model is introduced. In addition, reflective indicators that could be used to assess the development of preservice teachers\' reflective skills are articulated, and suggestions for further research are included.

WEB TABANLI PORTFOLYO OLUŞTURARAK ÖĞRETMEN OLMAK: ÖĞRETMENLİK UYGULAMALARI İÇİN PEDAGOJİK BİR MODEL

Abstract

Bu makalede hizmet öncesi öğretmenlerinin yansıtma becerilerini geliştirmekte kullanılabilecek pedagojik bir model betimlenmektedir. Bu modele temel oluşturan görüş, yansıtma becerilerini esas alan uygulamaların profesyonel eğitimin anahtar öğesi olması gerektiği görüşüdür. Önerilen pedagojik model çerçevesinde geliştirilen ve bu yönde özelleştilmiş bir web tabanlı portfolyo yazılımı olan BOUNCE tanıtılacaktır. Ayrıca, öğretmen adaylarının yansıtma becerilerinin gelişiminin değerlendirilmesinde kullanılabilecek olan yansıtma göstergeleri açıklanacak ve daha sonraki çalışmalar için önerilerde bulunulacaktır.
