An Exploratory Study of the Level of Reflection Attained by Preservice Teachers.

Changes in preservice teachers' level of reflective thinking over a three-quarter period were explored by analyzing their journal entries on readings and field experiences. Even without specific reflection training, levels of reflection increased significantly due to simply asking preservice teachers to reflect. However, only one participant achieved the highest of seven levels of reflection. Contains 56 references. (Author/SV)
