Abstract

This chapter presents an analysis of the feedback that the three authors gave on lesson plans created over the course of three semesters by pre-service teachers (PSTs) in an elementary student teaching practicum and how this feedback led to changes in PSTs' critical thinking about teaching. The authors use the term critical thinking for practice (CTP) to refer to a critical approach to understanding problems of practice. They show what PSTs took up and modified in their lessons and what they adapted in their teaching based on reflections with the authors, all supervisors in a teacher education program.
