An essential practice that all teachers need to practice in their work daily,
Reflective learning is analyzing actions that have happened. Reflective learning advantages both
teachers and students. To start reflective learning, teachers need to view models that explain
ways to use it effectively, these models include: John Dewey’s Theory learning, Donald Schön’s
Reflective Model, Kolb’s Learning Cycle, and Boud et al Reflective Model.
The purpose of this writing is to gain more understanding about reflective learning and to
discuss on different models of reflective learning to able to develop more critical thinking skills,
be more sociable and open to accept feedbacks that will help us learn how far we have come, and
be more improved on our future performance by analyzing our actions and what we have learned
(Webb, 2018).
The first theory that opened up everything related to reflective learning was found by
John Dewey (1859-1952). Dewey had a questioning approach and tried to consider why things
are the way they are and thinking about how could that be different. There are several key
features of reflection which…
Developed in his book “The Reflective Practitioner: How Professionals Think in Action”
(1983, 1991), Donald Schon’s theory of reflective practice is the distinction between reflection
while the event is happening and reflection after the event happened (Essay Writing Service UK
(EWSUK), 2020). He focused on “three elements of his thinking…”(Smith, 2011).
As viewed by David A. Kolb, learning is considered as a process in which knowledge is
created through the transformation of experience. His experimental learning theory is a
procedure of combining knowledge and experience then transforming behavior change.

Another model of reflective learning is Boud et al Reflective Model which is very
practical and powerful reflective cycle learning tool. It deals with learning from experience by
reflecting and evaluating it to arouse improvement (Ospina Avendano, 2020).
Learning is improved by the presence of reflective practice. Many advantages are offered
from reflecting on our thinking and learning. I see that all theories can complete each other in
way or another and that they are essential to teacher even if they only used one. Teachers can try
practicing each theory at a time, until they find the most comfortable one for them. By that time,
they can always use it. But still, practicing more than one theory can develop a teacher further.

Over the past few years, I have seen many teaching methods from teachers. Staring with
my university and still going with my educational careers as a teacher. There is not a certain
definition for the perfect teacher, however; there are few characteristics that are definitely found
in the good ones. I have a self-vision from my own experience by reflecting on other teachers
who worked with me, and this vision will definitely continue to grow year by year.
Starting my career as a co-teacher, I had the chance to observe a very good teacher who
taught English. She had passion toward teaching and students had a very strong bond with her.
Her teaching methods were creative even though she was an old woman who stopped working as
a teacher for 12 years.
During the first year as a co-teacher, I worked with a Math teacher who was also the
academic coordinator. I learned several teaching methods from her especially when it comes to
students being engaged during the session while the teacher talking time is less.
In the second year of being a teacher, I observed another Math teacher who had a whole
different methods when it comes to teaching, however; I had several concerns for these methods.
Students were afraid of her to the point that they do not want to go to school just to avoid her
session.
In a nut shell, I believe that there is no definition for a perfect teacher as every teacher
has their own ways of being perfect for the students. As teachers, we cannot say who is perfect
and who is not but we can learn from each other. On the other hands, students are the ones who
can tell the perfect teachers from their perspective with respect to their mind age as they see
teachers as their role models.
