Hassan Lemzaouak is a TEFL master's student discussing reflective teaching. There are three models of teaching: craft, applied science, and reflective. Reflective teaching seems most beneficial for teacher development as it allows for self-discovery of truths through experience. To become a reflective teacher, one must go through three stages: observation, recollection of the experience without evaluation, and review where the teacher responds. Reflective teaching can take forms like journal writing, self-reports, autobiographies, or peer observation, which is most effective as it is interactive and collaborative.

THE REFLECTIVE TEACHING
Actually I have learned three significant notions, those of the three models of teaching .The first model is teaching job as a craft .The second is the teaching is based upon applied science .And the last but not the least is the Reflective Teaching. Unlike the first and the second models that are respectively based on practice and theory, reflective teaching seems more beneficial for the teachers professional development .Hence, Carl Rogers claims that the only kind of learning which significantly influences behaviour is self discovered ...truth that has been assimilated in experience. On the premise of such a claim I have shifted my attitude toward the teaching-learning process .In this respect, I deem to ask one single pertinent question: How does reflective teaching take place? And what is the most efficient technique that ensures professional development? To become a reflective teacher, one has to go through tree stages : 1-The teaching experience stage the observe and the observer agree on a teaching element to be observed. 2-The recollection stage when the participant examines the teach in experience without any direct evaluation 3-The reviewing stage when the teacher provides responses to the teaching event. To put it differently, these here stages can be, respectively, termed as pre-observation, while observation and post-observation stage. In brief, reflective teaching takes different forms. It can be in the form of journal writing ,self report, auto biographies, collaborative dairy keeping, lesson recording. Sill, peer observation remains a more effective technique for empowering ones professional development as it is more interactive and collaborative.
