The reasoning for choosing Gibbs (1988) model was my ability to relate to reflection as illustrated by the model. Gibbs use of a cycle demonstrates how the six points of the reflective cycle are linked and this is how I view my incident, in some ways the incident created a chain of events that caused a culmination of effects producing both mental and physical effect for me as the teacher. In essence, I feel that one issue that arose then led to further issues within the lesson which had a detrimental effect on my confidence and as a result on the path the lesson as it evolved. Had I been able to reflect-in-action as noted by Schon (1985) the lesson may not have continued to deteriorate and I may have been able to regain …show more content…
Also, an ability to foresee some of the issues that arose would have also been valuable. It has already been noted that it can be difficult for trainee teachers to have the confidence to reflect-in-action and amend their lesson according to this as many can feel unable to deviate from their plans during early practice due to a lack of experience (Fund, Court and Kramarski, 2002). I had not anticipated the actions of the pupils as they had not surfaced during my observation of the class teacher teaching PE, these behaviours arose when I as a new teacher took the lesson and I would speculate the behaviours originated as a way for some of the pupils to test my boundaries as a …show more content…
An identical setting arose the following week when I was again teaching a PE lesson in gymnastics. My ability to learn for what had occurred the week before and to amend both my planning and lesson were vital for my lesson to be a success. I ensured I put steps in place for all the potential points in my lesson where issues may occur based on the previous lesson. The preparation placed on these tasks increased my confidence that the potential for a similar incident was minimal and I felt more knowledgeable to respond to any incidents as they may arise due to my previous experience of
