REFLECTION-IN-ACTION: A TEACHING STATEMENT
1. The Importance of Teaching Practice
Teaching practice is a crucial component of teacher education because it bridges theoretical
knowledge and authentic classroom realities. According to Shulman (1987), the development
of pedagogical content knowledge occurs most effectively when student teachers engage
directly with learners under the guidance of experienced mentors. In my experience, the
opportunity to plan lessons, deliver content, and assess student understanding in a real school
environment fosters professional growth that cannot be achieved solely through coursework.
Teaching practice serves as a formative process that exposes aspiring teachers to the
complexity of classroom management, diverse learning styles, and contextual factors affecting
learners‘ performance.
Moreover, teaching practice empowers student teachers to develop reflective habits. By
