Revisiting Reflection: Utilizing Third Spaces in Teacher Education

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Much has been written about the importance of reflective practice. What is missing is reflective work on the part of teacher educators to address the mismatch between university-based methods courses and the realities of classroom life. With examples from a third grade mathematics classroom as well as a university-based mathematics methods course, this article explores ways educators can employ third space theory as a way to engage in purposeful reflection into their teaching practices.
