Reflection
I have also learned about the Teaching Perspectives Inventory. It reminded
me to be concerned about all aspects of effective teaching. In order to
be a good teacher, I must improve my teaching quality in those five perspectives:
Transmission, Apprenticeship, Developmental, Nurturing, and Social Reform.
My result has urged me to carefully think whether or not I am lacking of
any perspectives. It is important for professional teachers to take some
of their time to reflect on their practices. Reflecting the practice provide
opportunities for me to expand my knowledge and accommodate those five perspectives.
As the reflective practice calls for ongoing exercise, I, as well as other
educators, will continually improve the abilities in planning instructions.
Through this course, I have learned to execute and report classroom
based, action research. I have also been provided the opportunity to
develop a professional portfolio. My personal value of portfolio development
is an excellent tool for maintaining my performance records, educational
growth, and experiences related to the field of my interests. Additionally,
portfolio enables me to keep track of my growing needs in which I can
accomplish my professional plans. I can use my course work as a tool
to help me enhance the quality of my classrooms. As there are references
and resources included in my course work, I will be able to utilize them
to construct an effective instruction and classroom.
