Teaching reflective practice to beginning teachers requires significant changes in a teacher educator’s implicit assumptions about how individuals learn teach. also teaching practices. The familiar teach-them-theory-and-then-let-them-practice approach assumes that learning is complete before begins. In contrast, professions involves from firsthand experience and recognizes the process of theory...

As reflective practice has become an influential factor in teacher professional development, teachers need some techniques to enhance their reflective teaching. In this light, this study was intended to examine: (a) whether self-evaluation techniques could promote English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ reflective teaching, (b) whether EFL teachers who used self-evaluation techniques would ...

The palliative care teaching at the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine is multi-faceted and involves students writing reflective essays after individually meeting patients approaching the end of life during their final year general practice ...

we propose a new ring resonator side-coupled m-z interferometer all-optical switch throughthe pumped nonlinear directional coupler. by controlling pump power p to lead the coupler reflectivityr approaching to 1, the resonator finesse will be enhanced dramatically, and then the minimumswitching power in silica-based practice devices can be obtained. as a sample, we use a nonlinearcoupler made by...

conceptualization COGNITIVE WORK BEHAVIOURAL WORK Figure 1: The Learning Cycle and The Cognitive and Behavioural Work involved in Learning The learning cycle emphasizes that there is both behavioural and cognitive work involved in learning (Huber, 1991). So we can learn from our actual experiences (concrete experience) and experiment and practice to find out what works best (active experimentat...
