Reflection

What is reflection?

Integral to your production of an e-portfolio is the process of reflection. Reflection is not an 'add-on' piece to your learning process, portfolio, or teaching practice. It is integral to the complex process of becoming an art teacher. Successful reflection enables self-awareness, personal and professional growth and improved teaching practices.

Reflection may be accomplished individually and collectively. You will have opportunities to reflect on your experiences and teaching with others, such as, peers, cooperating teachers, supervisors and university faculty. Each will bring a unique perspective to your understanding of yourself as a developing art teacher.

Ultimately, self-reflection and dialogue with others will result in insights as to:

1. how and why you think the way you do about art teaching, learning and assessment
2. what actions you took, what choices you made
3. the meaning of your actions and choices
4. what learning and growth has occurred
5. how you can change your practices in the future
6. what you believe is the social value of art education
7. what you believe is your role as a professional in the field of art education
