9. Smyth’s framework for reflection DESCRIBE What is your ‘teaching’ role here? You must identify, focus on and describe YOUR teaching more clearly here, in order to reflect on it. INFORM HERE is the focus of your reflection! Did you have a perception that these children could not play with the balls like this? What do you mean by ‘appropriately’? THIS could be the starting point of your reflection. This is about you and your role in the learning-teaching process. CONFRONT What does the quote from Te Whariki say about your own teaching here? Is socio-cultural theory only about learning in groups? What does Vygotsky’s theory of the ZPD mean for your practice in this scenario? So was this interaction ‘planned’ or ‘spontaneous’? RECONSTRUCT Here you evaluate the activity and suggest new materials rather than focus on reconstructing your own teaching and the learning-teaching process evident in the reflection. “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” Thomas Edison
