During lesson

Answer 1

Reflection questions are mostly used with learners as a way for them to debrief their learning processes in the classroom to improve and grow. This is just as useful a practice for teachers as it is for learners because in many ways teachers are still learners themselves. Self-reflective questions are of great importance to teachers for the following reasons;

• Encourages a level of self-awareness and consciousness about practice.
• Enables you to identify areas for improvement and also areas where you are strong.
• Allows you to recognize what works and what does not with students.
• Enables you to think deeply about students reactions to your teaching.
• Enables you to foster better relationships with learners, parents, colleagues and administrators.

Some of the set of questions that teachers ask themselves as a way to reflect on the lesson before they teach, during and after the lesson include;

• What was my best moment today and how can I have more moments like it?
• What was my most challenging moment and why? How will I respond next time?
• Were my students excited to be in class? If not, what can I do to change this?
• How was my mood with others today and how can I improve it?
• What are the biggest obstacles to improving my practice and how will I overcome them?
• How well did I communicate with others today and how can I do this better?
