Abstract
In the field of education, self-reflection is an important skill to help teachers assess and enhance their own teaching. As stated by Samaras and Freese, “When teachers critically reflect on their practice, they makes sense of the complexities of teaching and participate consciously and creatively in their own growth and development” (2006.) This active role in developing one’s work can greatly improve a teachers’ teaching. Self-reflection is a skill that can be developed and strengthened with practice. However, as a preservice teacher (a college student studying to become a teacher), self-reflection is a skill I am still developing.
