Teacher Education, Reflective Practices, Student Teachers, Professional Development
REFLECTIVE PRACTICES IN TEACHER EDUCATION: A MEANS TO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Dr. KAMALESH SARKAR
Teacher education needs to be aware of the present changing and curtail circumstances so that it can prepare the future teachers who are ready to abide by the regulation, but also critically reflective of the context for their student’s development. In teacher education, the studies on reflective practice are increasingly getting more and more attention at least in the last 2 decades. Now, Reflective practice is a systematic process that enhances teaching, learning and understanding; and it plays a central role in teachers’ professional development. Reflection permits teachers to think back on and learn from their own experiences, constructing new knowledge and applying that knowledge to new situations. In such a way, the process of reflective activities could be thought of as nearly synonymous with the process of education. The student teachers can grow professionally in their own by constantly looking into their selfactions and experiences. In this study, the researchers conducted a qualitative study to see the effectiveness of reflective practices in the development of student teachers in teacher education program. The study examines how the teacher educators create opportunities for student teachers to develop their reflective practices during their practice teaching sessions. The paper also attempts to establish that reflective practice is a tool for student teachers to explore themselves and thereby leading to their professional development.

MODELS OF TEACHER EDUCATION: BASIC OUTCOME
NIPA SARKAR, Dr. PALASH ROY
The current educational climate is essentially driven by an overriding interest in preparing students to become effective teachers. Therefore, some teacher education programmes have been developed in order to enhance this process. These programmes explore the possible approaches which could encourage student-teachers towards learning focused teaching activities. Most of the researchers shared three common views. Subsequently these concepts attained worldwide critical acclamation as teaching models. The latest models of teacher education have been put forward by Michael J. Wallace in 1991.Wallace moulded his models after the existing concepts of his precursors, but in a more convenient or transparent way.

MODELS OF TEACHER EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT
BISWAJIT BISWAS
Models of Teacher Education and Professional Knowledge Development. In order to find relationships between the professional knowledge of teachers and the structure of training institutions, a comparative study is carried out between the pre-service training models that occurred in India between the second half of the 19th century and the
second half of the 20th century. Institutionalization forms, hierarchies and institutional relations with other educational organizations are discussed. Focusing essentially on the professional knowledge of teachers who teach mathematics, we study how it occurs within each of the models.

Dr. ARNAB KUMAR DUTTA, SOURAV BANDOPADHYAYA
In contemporary society, Information and communications technology capture the pivot area of the teaching-learning process in the realm of formal and non-formal education systems throughout the world. Today, ICT makes education more attractive and well-equipped. Skilful uses of ICT in the classroom helps the teachers engage the student in an
energetic, attractive, and interactive manner. When we are talking about the inclusive education system and education for all then use of ICT is the only way to overcome the barriers behind its shortcomings. The Attitude of a teacher toward ICT is very necessary in this contemporary education system. If a person wants to choose teaching as a profession, then a positive attitude buildup toward ICT should be one of the main criteria. In this study, researchers investigated the attitude of student-teachers toward the use of ICT in Uttar and Dakshin Dinajpur districts. They found that gender and living location-wise no difference was there but student-teachers have high attitudes toward ICT according to their year of study of the B.Ed. Program.
Reflective Practice, Secondary Level, Study Habits, Academic Achievement
REFLECTIVE PRACTICES AMONG STUDENTS OF SECONDARY LEVEL FOR PROMOTING THEIR STUDY HABITS AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
SARADINDU DAS, Dr. KALYANI MITRA
Reflective practice is the ability to reflect on what we have done or, learnt or, performed or, experienced for our personal learning and self-improvement. Through reflective practices, in the field of education, students of secondary level could be deliberately engaged themselves in the process of critical thinking related to their learnt concepts or
done actions. Students as reflective practitioners look back, think critically and learn from experiences and construct knowledge of their own. Reflective practices draw attention, engage students in the course of study for longer time, draw out innate interest, fostering creative thoughts and hence, they are beneficial for building-up good study habits.
In spite of having required intelligence, many students could not be able to bring expected academic achievements due to poor study habits. On the contrary, students with good study habits could be able to bring proportionate academic achievement for themselves. Reflective practices are helpful in promoting effective study habits and effective study habits expectedly bring excellent academic achievements. Through this paper the researcher deliberately endeavours to derive some suggestions for parents, teachers, stakeholders and curriculum designers with the purpose of motivating students for exercising the reflective practices as much as possible with the expectation that these practices promote the degree of their study habits in a satisfactory level, which in turn, bring expected academic achievements for the practitioners.
