The Reflective Journal: A Window to Preservice Teachers' Practical Knowledge.

Francis, Dawn

Teaching and Teacher Education, v11 n3 p229-41 1995

The article outlines the use of reflective journal writing to help develop preservice teachers as reflective practitioners. Journals allow students to determine their own focus and what they want to understand, and to have their ideas seriously valued as knowledge being personally constructed. The importance of collaboration is examined. (SM)
