- And this is my final reflection. I wrote it after finishing my practicum teaching based on Gibbs’ reflective cycle (1998):
REFLECTIVE ACTIVITY_practical teaching at Secondary school
- Finally, I would like to share what I got from students. Their feedback is something that I will always keep inside my, as well as it was during my practical teaching at kindergarten and primary school. It is a short period shared with the students but I must say that the connection was and is deep, since I don't forget what we lived together. I really tried to do my best to contribute my grain of sand in students' integral education. I guess my meta was achieved because in some way they showed me that.
Students' feedback:
Some students evaluation at the end of lesson 3.
The last class...:
I said some farewell words, students listened to me willingly and then they offered a great round of applause.
Students' words: "No, teacher, no te vayas!" "Dale teacher, quedate, vos sos buena!".
A week later, a friend of mine, who is a teacher at school, told me that the students asked for me and said they were missing me....And she told me that they really meant it.
It made feel really good and pleased for my work.
