Reflective Journal Writing in the Practicum Course: What are the Roles of the Responder? (Ayasegül Daloglu)
Without feedback, the process of the Practicum may go astray. This tool besides of being interactive possesses the capability for exchanging thoughts, processes, and ideas not only between the facilitator and the student, but also between students.
The journal may serve as a powerful tool designed to meet the needs and the visions of people involved in this Practicum, which constitutes an elemental step in the formation of integral professional in the areas of Teaching and Translation.
As the reading points out, this journal will serve also other teachers that will come afterwards to the same activity hence the importance thereof. As we know, teaching is an ongoing task that will develop throughout a lifetime; therefore, the responder should be pointing out the strengths and integrally correcting the shortcomings of the student.
Another fact to underline is that the journal must be fresh and accurate, and by that, I mean that every entry should be done right when it is required and as faithful to the experience as possible. I think that the reading is very clear stressing the fact that a journal can only better and enrich the experience of the Practicum.
