Abstract
This chapter outlines the many ways in which reflective teaching could be adopted during formal teacher inductions. It sums up the induction policies, programs, and reflective teaching methodology facilitated in the curricula in a number of countries. Policies and activities in Turkey where reflective teaching has recently begun to show in formal teacher induction programs will be discussed. Problems regarding practice of reflective teaching during induction programs in Turkey and some others will be reviewed. Reflective teaching practices during pre-service training prior to formal induction will be mentioned. Research that highlights ways in which teachers can develop their reflective teaching will be explored. Finally, some recommendations that might help enhance novice teachers' reflective teaching perceptions will be made.
