Аннотация

TED University, Ankara, The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to the field of education, particularly for teacher educators who are responsible for preparing future teachers. This paper proposes a remote collaborative reflection model for teacher educators to navigate the challenges posed by the pandemic and transform them into opportunities for growth and innovation. The model emphasizes the importance of reflection and collaboration among teacher educators to adapt teaching practices, enhance professional development, and promote student-centered learning in a remote teaching environment. Through virtual platforms and online tools, teacher educators can engage in collective reflection, share experiences, and co-create knowledge to improve their teaching practices and support the learning needs of pre-service and in-service teachers. This paper discusses the key components of the remote collaborative reflection model and its potential impact on teacher education during the pandemic and beyond.
