Description
Summary:This work analyzes how a future chemistry teacher reflects on using a double-entry table as a teaching resource during her teaching residency. Through a qualitative case study, the practitioner's written reflections were examined to understand the reflective process she developed and the didactic knowledge she mobilized when analyzing this specific resource. The Interconnected Model of Teacher Professional Growth (MICPD) and reflective writing modalities were used as theoretical-methodological frameworks. The results show that the resident managed to articulate various didactic knowledge, such as levels of conceptualization, contextualization/decontextualization of activities, and condensation of meanings, to analyze the table used critically. Furthermore, different relationships were identified between the domains of the MICPD, expressed through various modalities of reflective writing, evidencing the complexity of the reflective process developed. This study contributes to understanding the reflective processes of future science teachers regarding their teaching practices and resources, and it expands the potential of the MICPD when considering writing modalities. Likewise, it highlights the relevance of promoting writing devices in initial teacher training to encourage situated reflection. New lines of inquiry are being opened to strengthen research and training in this field.
