Abstract

With the continual desire for teachers to effectively examine their practices, this qualitative study was conducted to learn how teachers self-analyze their practices. Rodgers' (2002) definition of reflection and Bransford’s (2000) explanation of metacognition were used as the theoretical frameworks for the study. Four teachers participated in an interview. The results of the study showed the teachers all used elements of reflection in their self-examination. In addition, teachers also employed metacognition.
