Mojca Jurišević
Abstract
As a pedagogic psychology assistant at the Faculty of Pedagogy in Ljubljana, the author of this article follows the regular pedagogic practice of approximately one hundred second-year students each year. The author supervises students in preparation for their pedagogic practice, discusses what happened (including problems) during practice, reads students’ lecture records, and analyses and assesses the entire process of practice together with her students. The author also cooperates with teachersmentors in schools (consultations, demonstration class attendance, teacher-mentor
seminars). The author of this article wishes to share her thoughts with teachers-mentors on the importance of stimulating students-future teachers to think reflexively. The article deals with the questions of why and the way in which a higher degree of professionalism in the (future) teaching profession can be achieved with the help of reflexive thinking.
