Teachers who explore their own teaching through critical reflection develop changes in attitudes and

awareness which they believe can benefit their professional growth as teachers, as well as improve the kind
of support they provide their students.

Reflective teaching involves recognizing, examining, thinking over the way an individual teaches. As
individuals possess their own background and experience, bring certain beliefs, assumptions, knowledge,
attitudes and values to teaching.

Sometimes it is common to see that what teachers expect in their classroom is different with the reality. In
reality, teachers may face many issues in the teaching and learning process. For instance, a teacher may plan
a lesson very well, but the practice is very different and even the result is not what is expected, or a teaching
method advised by the curriculum doesn’t run well with the situation in the classroom. Keeping a record on
what teachers do might help a teacher to know the strength and weaknesses of their teaching process. Thus,
it is important that to be a reflective teacher, a teacher should be able to keep a record on what they have
done in the classroom.

Reflection is a very important practice for teachers as it relates to whether teachers can continue to move
forward, and whether teachers can improve teaching practice so as to become good teachers
Furthermore, through reflection, teachers can be more aware of students’ perceptions of good teachers. In
my own analysis For example, I think a good teacher should be one who helps us students with our work,
explains well so we can understand, is friendly, easy to get on with, doesn’t yell at us students, make lessons
interesting and enjoyable cares about us, always ready to listen and understands us, has a sense of humor,
will laugh with us and controls the class. The afore-mentioned perceptions of good teachers can serve as a
mirror through that we can find out how good our teachers. This can only be possibly checked out through
teachers’ reflection. As such, it is important for teachers to have a reflective practice. Likewise, the importance
of teacher reflection can also be seen as a way to improve teaching.

If I will evaluate Mr Adena’s teaching, well he explains clearly the lesson for us to understand on how to do
things, helps with our work, caring, relates to students, understands what we say, controls the class well,
doesn’t yell, makes the work interesting and enjoyable, can joke around, combines humor with learning,
doesn’t rush us or force us, can work in our own way, we learn a lot, knows what he’s talking about, fair
and straightforward

Hope he will continue his good deeds for him to be called effective teacher..
