Detecting Reflection-in-Action Among Preservice Elementary Science Teachers.

MacKinnon, Allan M.

Teaching and Teacher Education, v3 n2 p135-45 1987

Examination of the way that preservice teachers think about their early experiences teaching science included exploration of the "Reflection-in-Action" (D. Schon, 1983) conceptualization of professional thinking. Testing of a set of criteria for detecting such thinking in clinical supervision indicated that this concept can be detected among preservice teachers. (Author/CB)
