This process is constituted with four phrases; they are the recognition of the teaching dilemma and its analysis, the construction of the teaching hypothesis and its test. The reflection of teaching can be realized through such ways as the description after teaching, teaching observation, microteaching and action researching.The reflection of teaching demands teachers for the ability of reflection.
