dc.description.abstractThis study was based on a belief grounded inthe literature that more authentic reflective approachesshould be implemented in order to encourage teachers toengage in many-way conversations with and withinthemselves, and that blogs as a transformationaltechnology for teaching and learning can facilitate criticalthinking and knowledge construction through interactionand collaboration with others with a shared interest. Thus,this 12-week-long case study seeks to examine whetherthe use of blogs as support for reflective practice in aPracticum course could enhance the level of criticalreflection that the pre-service English language teacherswere involved in. Data collection consisted of archivalrecords of pre-service teachers’ reflective blog posts andcomments, pre- and post-study interviews with pre-serviceteachers and field notes taken by the researcher. Theresults of this study indicate that blogging supports thepre-service teachers’ reflectivity positively. All of the preserviceteachers are found to be reflective to a certainextent in their blog postings. However, there aredifferences in the degree of reflection they are engaged in.These results reveal specific evidence that contribute toour understanding of how blogging might be incorporatedas to support for reflective practice in teacher educationprograms.
