The document summarizes reflective practice in teaching and its benefits. It discusses Kolb's learning cycle and Gibbs' reflective model for using experience to gain insights and inform new experiences. The document also outlines using learner assessment data, including test scores and non-test data, as well as performance evaluations from students, peers, and supervisors to reflect on teaching practices. Finally, it proposes conducting an interview with a teacher and school head to discuss how assessment feedback influences approaches to teaching and strategies for incorporating feedback into reflective practice to improve professionally.

a. demonstrate reflective self-assessment, using learner assessment
data and other reflection aids, for purposes of adjusting one’s teaching practices and for purposes of growing in the profession (advancing in the career stage);
b. explain how professional reflection and learning can be used to
improve teaching practice Reflective practice is ‘learning through and from experience towards gaining new insights of self and practice’ (Finlay, 2008). What are the benefits of reflective practice? Reflective practice helps create confident teachers Reflective practice makes sure you are responsible for yourself and your students Reflective practice encourages innovation Reflective practice encourages engagement Reflective practice benefits all Kolb’s Learning Cycle
David Kolb, educational
researcher, developed a four- stage reflective model. Kolb’s Learning Cycle (1984) highlights reflective practice as a tool to gain conclusions and ideas from an experience. The aim is to take the learning into new experiences, completing the cycle. Gibbs Reflective Recycle 'Reflection-in-action' and 'reflection-on-action' A. Reflective Practice Using Learner Attainment Data This pertains as evidence of the various assessments that are used in monitoring learners progress and achievement. Test Scores Non-Test Data B.Reflective Practice Through Performance Evaluation Students as Evaluators Peers as Evaluators Supervisors as Evaluators FINAL ACTIVITY Interview In a group with 5 members conduct an interview for the following:
1. basic education master teacher, and
2. a school head to give a first-hand account on the principles and actual conduct of reflection about teaching practice and professional development based on assessment feedback. Interview Questions 1. Could you describe a specific instance where assessment feedback significantly influenced your approach to teaching? How did you apply this feedback to enhance your professional development? 2. What strategies do you employ to effectively incorporate assessment feedback into your reflective process for improving teaching practice? Could you share an example of the outcomes resulting from this approach? 3. In your opinion, what key principles should educators follow when using assessment feedback to drive their professional development? How do you ensure these principles are integrated into your teaching practice? Expected Output A video of the conduct of the interviews (snippet) that summarizes the interview.
