Professional Teachers Preparation? Reflective Learning Journals in The Perceptions of Prospective English Teachers

Nur Cahya, Siti Suharsih, Murti Ayu Wijayanti

Abstract


Teacher professionalism can be shaped from the education stage in college, and the use of appropriate tools is essential to prepare prospective professional teachers. This study explores prospective teachers' perceptions of reflective learning journals as a tool in the process of shaping their professionalism. With a focus on how reflective journals can assist prospective teachers in developing professional skills, understanding and attitudes, this study aims to identify the extent to which reflective learning journals are viewed as effective in supporting their preparation to become professional teachers. The findings show that prospective language teachers' perceptions of reflective learning journals are very positive. Reflective learning journals can be used as a tool to assist English language teacher candidates in preparing them to become professional teachers. This study is expected to provide insight into the benefits and acceptability of reflective learning journals in pre-service teacher education.
