Why is it important?

Although various studies have indicated the importance of reflection in teacher training, there is no agreement on the development of these processes or on the role of assistance to enrich practical knowledge and encourage theoretical-practical relationships. The aim of the present investigation was to study the nature of interaction in processes of joint reflection by identifying the different types of assistance offered by the tutor within the collective scaffolding and the interactivity patterns that are constructed.
