Salomon
starts telling that no one has taught him how to reflect. In order to go in the
right direction. He mentioned that lived different situations in which his
friends made him wonder what he was going to do. From that sense, Salomon
invited us not to follow others' paths. He also mentioned in his lecture make
ourselves questions such as listen to our inner voice as a way to choose a different
path. He wondered himself questions such as if he follows the path of others.
he would not be as good or same as them. At that time, he started doing the thing that
really liked.
Following In the sequence of his lecture, the speaker asked the participants questions to
know more about themselves such as questions as to what do they really want to do?
what do they think they are good at? This makes me think that we need to
connect reflection into action.
According to Salomon, take action is what makes reflection different.
He also told the way he started working as a teacher he realized that teaching for
children was really a challenge so he reflected but he did not know what to do
and started organizing different work for students. But until he talked to colleagues
he knew that he was wrong in his teaching. In that way, we can reflect together
to know different perspectives and to know others' experiences. After those reflections
and discussions, he knew how to improve in the classroom. We as the teacher have to
find the time to reflect on what we are doing right and what we are doing wrong
in the classes and how can we improve. Also, we as teachers need spaces to
reflect upon our practices and to prepare for students. In that way, we will be more quality
teachers. On other words, we need to reflect on day to day as a journey of
being learners.
