-En los últimos 20 años el término de enseñanza reflexiva está de moda en la formación del profesorado. Los profesores noveles necesitan perfeccionar sus habilidades reflexivas y críticas para apoyar su aprendizaje y desarrollo. La enseñanza reflexiva es un enfoque educativo y pedagógico esencial para aumentar la conciencia de su papel como profesores. Además, no se trata solamente de pensar sobre la enseñanza sino de explorar suposiciones subyacentes de una manera crítica. Se ha llevado un experimento en la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria en 2011 con 25 estudiantes de la carrera en Filología Inglesa en su cuarto año de estudio. A estos estudiantes se les dieron 4 horas del idioma desconocido. Este artículo analiza la primera clase, específicamente, dos preguntas sobre la clase en la sesión de retroalimentación y dos entradas en los diarios. El objetivo principal fue enseñarles a los alumnos que no es necesario utilizar su idioma materno para poder seguir y participar en la clase. También, hacerles entender cuales son las estrategias apropiadas
y enfoques metodológicos que se deberían utilizar cuando se enseña el idioma extranjero. Los estudiantes fueron abrumados con la experiencia, aunque algunos de ellos, exactamente 6, utilizaron las palabras: asustado, confuso y petrificado, para describir sus sentimientos al mismo principio de la clase. Las primeras impresiones de asombro desaparecieron inmediatamente gracias al enfoque comunicativo utilizado por el profesor. En gran medida todos ellos confirmaron que utilizarían las mismas estrategias y los métodos en sus futuras clases. Además, todos destacaron lo mucho que habían aprendido en solamente una hora.
--In the last 20 years the term reflection in teacher training is in vogue. Teacher trainees need to master their reflective and critical skills during their initial teaching practices to support professional learning and development. Reflective teaching is an educational and pedagogical approach essential to raise the awareness of their roles as teachers. Moreover, it is not only about thinking about teaching, it is also about the exploration of more critical underlying assumptions. An experiment was done at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in 2011 with 25 students studying the fourth and last year of their degree in English Language and Literature.
These students were given 4 lessons in an unknown language. This article analyses the first lesson, exactly two questions randomly chosen (from their feedback session) and two diary entries. The main objective was to show the students that it is not necessary to use their mother tongue in order to follow and participate in a lesson.
Likewise, to direct their attention to suitable strategies and approaches that should be used when teaching any foreign language. The students were overwhelmed with the experience, although some of them, exactly 6, used the words scared, confused and petrified, at the very beginning of the lesson. These first impressions of being shocked went immediately away, thanks to the communicative approach used by the teacher and more importantly all of them stated that they would use the very same strategies and methods. Moreover, they confirm that they learnt very much in only one hour.
