First, what is teaching reflection
First of all, we should understand what is teaching reflection and the concept of teaching reflection, which is of great help to how to reflect.
Teaching reflection is a process of reviewing, paying attention to, questioning and analyzing one's teaching behavior and performance from the technical and ethical levels, self-examining, actively thinking about the reasons and results of one's teaching behavior, and evaluating the effectiveness of one's teaching. In layman's terms, it is a process in which teachers take their own teaching activities as the object of thinking and examine and analyze their own behaviors, decisions and the resulting results. It is a way to promote the development of ability by improving the level of self-awareness; It is a process in which teachers strive to improve the rationality of teaching practice and make themselves become scholar-type teachers. It is a process of actively, actively and continuously critically examining and analyzing one's teaching ideas and teaching behaviors in order to achieve teaching objectives.
Teaching reflection is an act of actively caring about the purpose, result and means efficiency of one's own teaching behavior, and it is a process of constantly controlling, evaluating and correcting one's own practical behavior. In order to review and recall the existing activities, we should find a solution to the problem. Teaching reflection is a means, the essence of which is to find and solve problems in teaching, so that bad things will not happen again in the future and good practices will continue to be carried forward.
Second, the role of teaching reflection on teachers' growth
American educational psychologist Posner put forward the formula: experience+reflection = growth, which is the wisdom of teachers' growth, and many teachers have profound experience.
If a teacher may have worked for 20 years without reflection, it is only 20 repetitions of an experience. If a teacher is only satisfied with the acquisition of experience without in-depth reflection on experience, then his original ideas and inappropriate behaviors will be difficult to change, and as a result, his teaching is likely to stay at the original level for a long time and stop.
Why can't experience grow? Why does experience and reflection grow?
1. Rethink to turn experience (including lessons) into teaching wisdom and be inspired by what happened.
Mr. Ye Lan pointed out: A teacher may not become a famous teacher by writing a lesson plan for a lifetime, but he may become a famous teacher by writing a reflection for three years. The experience without reflection can only be narrow, one-sided and superficial; A teacher who can't reflect, his teaching ability and level is only the accumulation of experience at most; A teacher who can constantly reflect will increase his educational wisdom. The more reflective a teacher is, the better a teacher is, and the more he can make his own experience draw inferences from others.
A math teacher always teaches students better grades than others. When someone asked him why, he couldn't answer. Later, through reflection, he found that the reason was that each student only used one exercise book. Students can't see their homework on the first day, and they can't see it until the next day. After careful summary, his experience was promoted to the principle of timely feedback. In the discussion, teachers also believe that only by timely feedback of students' learning situation can students' mistakes and vague understanding be corrected in time and their math scores be improved.
2. Reflection can help you find a solution to the problem.
Reflection can help teachers find their own teaching problems from their daily teaching behavior, put forward solutions to the problems and improve their professional level.
The purpose of reflection is not only to review the past, but to guide future actions, help explore and solve problems, and pursue the rationality of teaching practice.
Some teachers have found a solution to the problem after reflecting on the poor effect of group cooperative learning; Divide into good groups, choose good team leaders, do a good job in training, make good use of evaluation and strengthen guidance. If these five links are well done, the effect of group cooperative learning will be better.
We don't think it's terrible that there are problems in teaching. The terrible thing is that the teacher does not seriously reflect and think about finding a solution to the problem.
3. Reflection makes you learn to teach.
When teachers fully reflect on their teaching behavior, they will review the experience gained before, during and after teaching from the aspects of teaching subject, teaching purpose and teaching tools, so as to make themselves mature.
Reflection is a good way to help yourself learn to teach. If something is not taught well, reflect on why, and next time you can change the teaching method and learn to teach gradually.
Whether it is the failure of teaching or the success of teaching, teachers only need to seriously reflect, analyze the reasons for the failure and refine the successful experience. These are valuable teaching resources and irreplaceable essence of any educational theory.
4. Reflection promotes teachers' growth
Reflection can transform teachers' spontaneous behavior into conscious behavior, shorten teachers' growth cycle and make teachers develop in an all-round way.
According to the professional characteristics of teachers, they are generally considered to be novice teachers within 5 years, paying attention to specific teaching skills; From 5 years to 10, she is an adaptive teacher, paying attention to teaching strategies, paying attention to students' personality differences and comprehensively applying skills; 10-20 years is a mature teacher who pays attention to his own teaching philosophy; Expert teacher for more than 20 years. But if you don't grasp the opportunity of progress, you won't automatically leapfrog, and you may not be mature until you retire.
Through reflection, not only pay attention to the completion of teaching tasks, but also reflect the achievements on students; We should also care about how teachers improve themselves in teaching, instead of mechanically repeating their work year after year. Teachers need to care about their own growth to shorten the mature time.
Third, the content of teaching reflection
Reflection in a narrow sense is reflection on classroom behavior, while reflection in a broad sense includes reflection on pre-class design, reflection in teaching and reflection after class.
