The Extent to Which Seasoned Teachers in the Cayman Islands Use Elements of Reflective Teaching in Their Lesson Planning, Implementation and Evaluation: Implication for Teacher Education and Training Globally and Locally (original) (raw)

This research was motivated by my personal desire to learn more about reflective teaching, and by the fact that there was the need in the Cayman Islands to accumulate a body of knowledge addressing local issues in all disciplines, including aspects of teaching and learning. A qualitative instrumental case study was employed. Six broad research questions guided the study. Participants included four seasoned teachers. The field research made use of interviews and documentary analysis. Interviews focused on participants' experience and observations, regarding the research areas. Documents, in the form of lesson plans, were used to confirm or make findings, more or less plausible. By analysing similarities and differences in the respondents' views, I outlined: the extent to which they made use of elements of reflective teaching in their lesson planning, implementation and evaluation; and implications of the results for teacher education and training globally and locally.
