1.Introduction
A new round of Educational reform put forward higher requirement on teachers,it requires teachers to enhance Lifelong Consciousness of self development and the main performance is to reflect constantly.Reflection has great significance on teachers’self development,because the process of teachers’self development is just the process of active learning and improving.Its meaning lies in the change of teachers’behavior,and this kind of change comes from teachers’inner heart.Therefore,we can say that teachers’self development is just the process of self reflection.Teaching journal as one kind of reflective teaching is receiving more and more attention.
Journal,a means of self expression,has a very long history.Since long ago,journal has been considered to be one of effective ways for education and learning.I is a means by which teachers can continually record and describe the experiences which have reflective and research values in their teaching.By writing teaching journals,teachers can update their concepts,increase their skills and promote their professional development.At the same time, it also reflects teachers’thinking process and habits and helps teachers to remember.The writing of teaching journal is not only inseparable from the teachers’knowledge structure, teachers’professional quality,but also inseparable from teachers’practice.However,it may be written differently because of different teachers,so it has no general quantitative criteria.
Richards and Lockhart(2017)treat teaching journal,teaching reports,surveys,questionnaires and lectures as“several class survey methods which are commonly used”and point out there are two advantages to write teaching journal:First,it can retain the significant events in the teaching process for future reflection and record the thinking at that moment.Second,the writing process is just the process of finding problems.
Teaching journal is one of the effective methods which can help teachers to examine their teaching activities;it can narrate teachers’professional life and record the reflection of teaching activities.By writing teaching journals,teachers can explore the value of the events that they have experienced in educational activities,and record the events that happened on them and the significance of these events,all these could improve teachers’educational practices and enhance their professional qualities.
