摘要：Reflection is a type of critical learning process that teachers share and learn from their direct teaching experiences. This study aimed to assess needs for Thai teachers to become a reflective teacher. Quantitative data from a survey of 608 teachers suggested that to become a reflective teacher, one needs to possess two key components of the Becoming a Reflective Teacher (BRT) attribute: (1) the Belief and Confidence for Learning Reflection component; and (2) the Reflection Behaviors and Skills component. Results showed that Thai teachers had BRT components at moderate levels. As confirmed by the priority need index, the development of critically reflective skills for Thai teachers should be the top priority. Data from interviews additionally revealed that learning through reflection was an unpleasant experience for Thai teachers.
