Semester IV (I-IV)
Paper -XXXIX (EDN-39)
Reflective Journal (1-4 Sem)

Credits: 2 Marks 25

Learning Outcomes
Student teachers will be able to:
• Keep a journal as a tool and connect between various aspects and develop ability to
record systematically.
• reflect on and clarify their thoughts,
• understand their self-awareness
• understand their experiences and observations

Introduction
Reflective journal writing is seen as a teaching tool in teacher education that helps
students make the connection between new and prior knowledge. A consistent journaling
routine and reflective practise strengthen the pre-service teacher's capability and give them the
necessary pedagogical knowledge and abilities. According to Ross (1989), reflective journal
writing is a method of considering problems in education that call for defensible choices.
Reflection is defined as more than just thinking; it is centred on the teacher's daily work in
the classroom.

What is the reflecting process and what is reflection?


John Dewey introduced the term "reflection" to explain the process of thinking through
concerns and problems by connecting thoughts and actions to earlier acts (Hutton & Smith,
1995). In its most basic form, reflection is the deliberate consideration and analysis of one's
past and present actions (Henderson et al., 2004).
Reflective practise is gaining traction as the predominant paradigm in teacher education
globally, claims Farrell (1998). "Teachers subjecting their beliefs and practises of teaching to
critical analysis" is how he defined reflection in the classroom (p. 1 ). According to Han (1995)
and Black (2001), on the other hand, reflection enables educators to make wise decisions by
enabling them to consider the various roles that they play in schools and/or classrooms as well
as the pedagogical, sociological, and ethical contexts. They emphasised that because teaching
is anuncertain, dynamic, and complicated profession, reflection is vital to teacher education and
ought to be a core competency for educators.

Is Journaling beneficial?
Keeping a journal is beneficial because it allows student teachers to reflect on and clarify
their perceptions, feelings, and thoughts, which increases their self-awareness about their
experiences and observations (Learning Advisors, University of South Au stralia, 2005).
Additionally, one way that student teachers develop reflection is through the practise of keeping
a reflective notebook. By maintaining a reflective journal, one not only document events and
observations, but also generates fresh concepts and insights to make sense of the experiences
and situations encountered. As a result, reflective writing can support student teachers in
developing into critical, constructive, and reflective learners.
Types of Reflections
Journals are a useful tool for thinking about a variety of problems and circumstances from
multiple angles (RMIT, 2006). Six categories of reflection are listed by RMIT (2006).
OBSERVATIONS
At this stage a student would write about what they actually saw or their viewpoint on a particular
event.
QUESTIONS
Upon reflection, the student could ask the questions.
SPECULATIONS
After thinking about the situation, the student could reflect.
SELF-AWARENESS
At this point a student may place himself or herself in the situation by considering the
ramifications.

INTEGRATION OF THEORY AND IDEAS


By reflecting on theories or ideas about cultural norms the student has connected the
experience with what he or she has learned.

CRITIQUE
This is where the student may self-reflect on or “critique” the situation by writing.

Writing down one's reflections "leads to improvement and/or insight" (RMIT, 2006).
Reflection is a cyclical activity. Improvement can refer to any number of concepts that suggest
change, such as advancement, development, growth, maturity, and improvement. Through
education, we hope that students will improve, develop while they study, and eventually become
well-informed adults. New insights into students' inner selves can arise by documenting events,
thinking back on procedures, and assessing data to enhance deeper learning.

Levels of Reflectivity
Van Manen (1977) distinguished three levels of reflection about the degreeto which
teachers consider their instructional strategies. The first degree of reflectivity, known as
technical competency, focuses primarily on teachers' application of proper teaching
strategies in the
classroom (Richert, 1992). When in the technician mode, a teacher may attempt to deal with or
resolve events, difficulties, or challenges as they arise (Zeichner & Liston, 1996).
The ability to examine judgements made when it comes to teaching while keeping in mind
that these activities are connected to values commitments is the second degree of reflection
(Van Manen, 1977). "Making practical choicesand interpreting the nature and quality of the
educational experience are the main foci" (ibid., pp. 226-227). At this stage, the presumptions
and beliefs pertaining to the decisions taken will be made clear.
Critical reflection, the highest degree of reflectivity, demonstrates the capacity to weigh the
moral and ethical ramifications of instructional decisions (Zeichner & Liston, 1987). Here, the
focus is on how valuable educational experiences and information are, as well as how well
educational activities have benefited equality, justice, and human needs.
As indicated below, the reflecting Journal comprises three reflecting categories in addition
to seven focal topics.

Method of Creating Reflective Journals
When it comes time to revisit the reflective diary for review, it is advised that students document
all official and informal occurrences. Together with the less troublesome areas, students should
concentrate on the ones that present the most challenges or obstacles. Observing changes
over time and "gaining a sense of achievement" are crucial components of reflective journals
(Dalhousie University, n.d.).

Write, record

i. Describe the situation (the course, the context)


ii. Who was involved with the situation?
iii. What did they have to do with the situation?

Reflect, think about

i. What are your reactions?


ii. What are your feelings?
iii. What are the good and the bad aspects of the situation?
iv . What you have learned?
Analyse, explain, gain insight

i. What was really going on?


ii. What sense can you make of the situation?
iii. Can you integrate theory into the experience/situation?
iv . Can you demonstrate an improved awareness and self-development because of
the situation?
Conclusions
i. What can be concluded in a general and specific sense from this situation/experience
and the analyses you have undertaken?
Personal action plan

i. What are you going to do differently in this type of situation next time?
ii. What steps are you going to take on the basis of what you have learned?”

Guidelines for writing reflective journals for teachers


When writing reflective journals, have the following general guidelines in mind:
i. Don't restrict an entry to just a description: Make sure to give a thoughtful explanation of
what transpired and its causes. For students, reflective diaries are an invaluable
learning resource because of the analysis.
ii. Provide an honest analysis: You must be truthful in your evaluation for the reflective
journal to be beneficial. You don't compose it only to get a grade. It's an educational
resource to help you become a better teacher.
iii. Avoid attempting to cover everything: Not all of it will be worthwhile. Write about the
main concepts and takeaways from the encounter.
Implications for Teaching
The framework of reflective journal writing for pre-service teachers' practicum reflection
centres on the development of teaching competences. During the process, pre-service teachers
choose a competency in explicit terms and then decide what activities will help them acquire that
specific competency. The pre- service teacher evaluates their work at the conclusion of the
lesson. The capacity of pre-service teachers to recognise the shortcomings in their instruction
using Zalipour's (2015) reflection questions—"What was I thinking?" and "Could it be
different?"—as well as to assign blame and offer pedagogical solutions that could be applied to
overcome obstacles and enhance instruction and learning outcomes, is especially crucial. Apart
from the observations made by the pre-service teacher, the mentor also offers comments, which
the pre-service teacher is expected to record in their journals. The constructive criticism
provided by mentors shapes the way pre-service instructors present their lessons. It is
anticipated that pre-service teachers' classroom instruction would systematically improve as
they continue to write in a reflective notebook. The student-teacher would have developed a
professional dossier on their teaching by the end of the practicum.

I. Introduction
Pre-service teachers in Teacher Education are required to compile a portfolio of their
professional experience, which includes teaching, internships, and school-based experiences.
The portfolio's primary goal is to record the abilities and expertise gained by preservice teachers.
It implies that each student teacher's abilities must be identified in their professional practice
portfolio. Second, as a channel of communication for mentors, lecturers, and trainees. This
means that for each trainee they supervised, the mentors, professors, and trainees themselves
must see value in the portfolio as a mutually beneficial medium. The third is trainees' professional
growth. Examining each student's growth and development throughout the course of a lesson is
the aim of a portfolio. Fourthly, provide the student instructors in training some opportunity to
think and acquire fresh insights and understanding. Fifth, create a methodical and expert
approach for acquiring information and document it. ICT use in education has many benefits, but
it is not always as simple to integrate into the teaching and learning process as one may think
(Coutinho & Bottentuit Junior 2008; Gathercoal et al. 2005; Sidin & Mohamad, 2007).
The three main goals of e-portfolios are to: (a) create a culture of proof for student
learning and educational impact; (b) improve coordination and feedback for instructors on
student work; and (c) offer an efficient mechanism for continuing reflective learning. In this
context, the usage of e-portfolios extends beyond professional standards for teacher
training and offers a model for raising the standard of education generally from both an
instructional and learning standpoint.
II. What is an e-Portfolio?
The term "e-Portfolio" refers to an electronic portfolio, which can also be referred to as an
online portfolio, digital sketchbook, web-folio, e-Folio, or i-Folio. It serves as a venue for the
online exhibition of creative works, such as literature, artwork, movies, photography, and designs.
It may also have headings, navigation menus, hyperlinks, and pages that combine text and visual
content.
Students can record their learning in electronic portfolios, which allow teachers,
classmates, and others to view the information from a distance. Student e -Portfolios serve as a
place to store, evaluate, and reflect on work as well as a record of learning throughout time. An
electronic portfolio, or e-portfolio, is a deliberately curated collection of student examples,
projects, and artefacts that highlight learning outcomes, accomplishments, and proof of the
students' abilities. Students who produce e-portfolios must solve problems, make decisions,
reflect, organise, and think critically in order to create a learning "story" that appropriately reflects
the competencies and skills they have acquired. A skilfully designed e -portfolio programme is a
fantastic teaching resource for educators. They encourage the deeper learning that we want for
our students and give institutions real assessments of student learning.
Electronic portfolio uses a variety of general technologies, such as word processing,
multimedia authoring tools, portable document format (PDF) files, web logs, and others, for the
digital creation, storing, organising, and presentation of portfolio artefacts. This second kind of
electronic portfolio makes use of the institution's online storage space or a range of digital
storage devices, such as CDs and disc drives (Gibson & Barrett, 2003). The use of e-portfolios in
the classroom enhances the diversity of the learning process and the assignment's assessment
component.
Primary concepts that represent teacher knowledge and skills can be utilised as the
portfolio's table of contents, or the institution can choose to employ teacher education standards
as an organisational framework. The portfolio might, for instance, have five main sections: one for
evidence specific to work in classrooms (lesson plans, curriculum units, student work samples,
assessment tools), one for evidence specific to meeting the needs of all students (lesson
adaptations, lessons integrating a variety of instructional strategies, differentiated assessment
strategies and tools), and one reserved for personal and professional information (curriculum
vitae, university transcripts, educational philosophy statement), and a final category reserved for
evidence specific to meeting the teacher education standards, and another reserved for evidence
specific to working with families and communities (e.g., parent communication tools, class
newsletters, evidence of integrating families and community members into curricular and
classroom activities). The portfolio displays a range of artefacts that may be explored in more
detail by clicking on the hyperlinks within each main category.

III. Advantages of e-portfolios


According to Muhammad Kamarul, K. & Mahbub, AK (2012), e-portfolios have several
benefits for helping teachers develop their competency. These benefits include:
a) understanding the production of effective teachers;
b) developing methods and instructional activities;
c) improving grammatical skills;
d) facilitating an understanding of the lesson content;
e) improving ICT skills; and
f) realising a shift in thinking.
Mayfield and Mitchell (2009) discovered that e-portfolios help with continual performance
assessments, acknowledging past learning, and reflecting on professional reading by allowing
users to record their abilities and professional progress.
IV. Process elements of e-portfolios
Mentoring, reflection practise, Philosophy of Teacher Education, learning space, e -
portfolio platforms, and accessible e-portfolio model are the six essential components of the
Professional Practise process part of the e-portfolio model.

a) Mentoring: In particular, mentorship in teacher preparation is a process of personal


growth that necessitates the engagement and dedication of both the mentor and mentee
(student teachers). Hezlett (2005) states that a mentee will initially learn by observation of
relevant things, followed by an explanation or description from the mentor and interaction
with mentors who are also studying it using a variety of ways. For student teachers to
reassess and enhance their pedagogical approaches, the mentors' feedback is crucial
(Hudson et al. 2005; Jarvis et al., 2001).
b) Reflection: According to Brockbank and McGill (2007), reflection is the process of
thinking through issues, analysing arguments, making suggestions, and taking action to
enhance application. When reflection is incorporated into teaching practise, teachers are
better able to assess and enhance the teaching process.
c) Philosophy of Teacher Education: Producing teachers with high levels of professional
resilience, ethical and creative thinking, practise values, skill, and technology orientation
is the primary objective of the philosophy of teacher education.
d) The learning spaces: The institution's vision and philosophy are embodied in the
learning environment, which is intimately linked to educational settings. The idea of an
educational institution's learning environment that takes into consideration classrooms,
teachers, and students when putting the plan into action to meet learning objectives.
e) e-Portfolio Platform: Four different types of electronic portfolio platforms have been
discovered by Ittelson Lorenzo (2005) and Sweat-Guy & Buzzetto-More (2007), who also
discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative. (i) A local portfolio, also
known as a homegrown portfolio, is one that is made by the organisation and customised
to fit its particular requirements; yet, the production process can be costly, time -
consuming, and difficult. (ii) An open source portfolio is one in which the source code is
freely available for modification and is offered without charge. Open source is a risky
portfolio in which institutions or developers must assume any costs associated with
upgrading, customising, or providing support for the electronic portfolio, (iii) Commercial
portfolios, which are well-developed and include technical support, are available from
vendors; however, the cost of purchasing support services may be higher. (iv) Common
software designed to facilitate the creation of electronic portfolios, such as Front Page,
Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher, and/or PowerPoint.
f) e-portfolio model: According to Bhattacharya and Hartnett's (2007) research, creating
an integrated learning environment for students to explain how the concepts they have
learned relate to real-world scenarios is necessary for the design and development of e -
portfolios. Barrett (2007) established the 21st Century Model of Portfolio, which focuses
on four aspects of e-portfolio development: core topics, 21st century themes, learning and
innovation skills, and information technology skills, life skills, and career. Standards and
assessments, curriculum and instruction, professional development, and learning
environments are some of these components.

V. Creating an e- Portfolio promotes digital literacy and web design skills


Creating an electronic portfolio can play a crucial role in fulfilling curriculum requirements
by offering "an assessment mode that is more relevant to current and future students in the 21st
century."
Several transferrable skills can be gained even from the simple act of constructing a
digital portfolio to showcase student work. It promotes, for instance, the usage of editing
programmes like Adobe Photoshop as well as scanners, video cameras, and other digital
equipment. Additionally, it teaches students to web design and blogging software.
i. Ensure content is appropriate for a classroom situation: respectful language,
inoffensive imagery.
ii. Verification of ownership: Include screenshots of work in progress and accompany
digital submissions with physical artwork.
iii. Balance screen time with hands-on creation.
iv. Backup the e- Portfolio (on cloud server, memory stick or Dropbox).
v. e- Portfolio layout (structure and page labelling) and organization (for easy
navigation).
vi. Make a new page for each assignment or unit of work.
vii. Include a menu, with clearly labelled navigation links.

Add a navigation menu with links to the various work areas of the e-Portfolio at the top of
the screen, either above or below the main header. Pages can be grouped together in categories
and subcategories using a drop-down menu. The menu should have simple, easy-to-read
language. Teachers frequently establish guidelines and naming conventions for menu items so
that students may easily find their work.
Menu items should be arranged in a logical order to demonstrate the development of
ideas. They should also have links to the main page and other important pages (such as the
"About Me" and "Contact" pages, which are helpful for people who want to use the e -Portfolio for
professional purposes). The website footer, which is located at the very bottom of the page, can
also have a second menu.
viii. Ensure content views well upon different screen sizes, with images and text clearly
visible.
ix. Use hyperlinks to connect different parts of the portfolio and link to external websites.
x. Use a simple presentation style.
xi. Introduce the project on the ‘Home’ page. Provide a synopsis of the project, explain
the goal of the e-portfolio, and include links to the many sections that are important to
the project.
xii. Add an ‘About Me’ page: When it comes to a career portfolio, an About Me page is
quite crucial. Here, students can add personal details about themselves.

Pre-Internship Practice

Pre-Internship is a vital component of the Teacher Education Program. It is a prerequisite for the
student teachers to experience a simulated classroom environment to prepare them for real-life
situations. Student teachers get exposure in a conducive, guided environment to manage a classroom
and learn pedagogic and classroom management skills and get an opportunity to have hands -on
experience.

Learning Outcomes:
After completion of the course, student teachers will be able to:
• acquainted with various pedagogic practices, classroom management skills, assessment tools
and learning standards,
• get experience of conducting classes by observing lessons transacted by teacher educators
(demonstration lessons),
• develop lesson plans to transact them using appropriate pedagogies and learning resources,
• develop and practice teaching skills in a guided environment to be an effective teacher,
• understand best practices and challenges through peer observations
• be prepared for the school internship.

Mode of Transaction

• Demonstration lesson (minimum 1 in each pedagogical subject)


• Peer Group teaching and peer observation - 5 in each pedagogical subject
• Observation of lessons by teacher educators during peer group teaching
• Reflective group discussions/workshops/seminars
• Preparation and presentation of the video content illustrating best classroom practices.

• Orientation of student teachers to different pedagogic approaches like storytelling, art-


integrated, sports-integrated, project-based, and ICT-integrated for developing critical thinking,
attention to life aspirations, and greater flexibility and classroom management skills.
• Observation of the lesson demonstrated by teacher educators/experts in the institute.
• Designing guided activities, including a laboratory for each class/subject based on learning
outcomes.
• Study Secondary Stage Learning Standards in the NCF
• Content analysis and development of the unit plan, concept map and lesson plan.
• Discussion on unit plan and lesson plan with teacher educators/experts
• Preparation of a Portfolio (for self -work) that the student-teacher will use to keep all her/his
work.
• Participate in discussions/reflective sessions for conceptualizing teaching-learning practices.
• Exploring available learning resources and educational videos
• Developing local, low-cost, and innovative TLM s
