Education QUESTION #6924
Question 1
A teacher reflects on her practice by reviewing student performance data from previous lessons and making adjustments to her next lesson plan before delivering it. This behavior BEST exemplifies which of the three types of professional reflection?
  • Reflection in action — thinking on one's feet during the lesson
  • Reflection on action — reviewing practice after the lesson
  • Reflection for action — using past evidence to proactively plan and improve future instruction✔️
  • Critical reflection — comparing one's practice against national teaching standards
Correct Answer Explanation
The three types of reflection in teaching are: reflection in action (real-time thinking during instruction), reflection on action (retrospective review after the lesson), and reflection for action (forward-looking, using past evidence to plan and improve future practice). Using past performance data to redesign upcoming lessons is reflection for action — the most strategically impactful form.
