Abstract
ARANDA-VEGA, Eva María; MARTIN-CUADRADO, Ana María and CORRAL-CARRILLO, María José. Class Journals: A Strategy for Developing Teachers’ Reflective Thinking. Educ. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.2, pp.243-266. Epub Apr 06, 2021. ISSN 0123-1294. https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2020.23.2.5.
This paper aims to discuss reflection as a facilitator of practical knowledge. For this, a qualitative analysis is carried out on 52 class journals of students of the Master’s Degree in Secondary Education Teacher Training at the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), Spain, during 2016-2017. The analysis shows that class journals are a useful instrument for developing teachers’ reflective thinking, facilitating experiential learning, and acquiring professional teaching skills.
