Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between the developing process of the teachers' reflective thinking and the collaborative reflection with outside assessors throughout one school year.
We found some influence of the assessors' reflective writings by analyzing the development of the content of the focus and the level of teachers' reflection, teachers' pedagogical knowledge over one year. That is,a)the assessors' own focus on the observed lessons had an effect on the teachers' reflections; b)the assessors' level of reflection had an effect on Expert & Middle teachers' reflections; c)the teachers learned from assessors' pedagogical knowledge over time; d)the teachers could select the characteristics of assessors based on own capacity and their personal interests for professional development.
