Research Comparing The Perspectives of Teacher Educators Either With or Without Prior School Teaching And Their Level of Competency
Educators need to be able to demonstrate proficiency in a variety of skills, including observation, communication, collaboration, judgement, and decision making. The major purpose of this study is to identify specific methods that may be used by instructors to encourage more reflective thought. In order to do this, comparing the levels of reflective thinking skills possessed by experienced teachers with those of newly certified teachers. To test the reflective thinking of educators, two novel instruments called the Profile of Reflective Thinking Attributes (PRTA) instrument, and the Reflective Thinking Attributes (RTA) instrument are introduced. The purpose of this study was to present an in-depth description of the decisions that were made by both experienced teachers and beginners to the field of education as they prepared for and taught two distinct types of physical education sessions. Inexperienced teachers depended more on the pupils' collective curiosity to keep the peace in the classroom.
