I. Introduction
Since 1980s, reflective teaching has prevailed in the world especially in Europe and America. So scholars in education field have also made a lot of researches on reflective teaching in America. In most of the articles and books dealing with reflective teaching, the roots of the term reflection are traced back to Dewey and his influential “How we Think”: a re-statement of the relation of reflective thinking to educational process and to Schon(1983), Schon(1987), Schon(1991). Reflective teaching begins to attract more and more teachers and educators’ attention. Xiong Chuanwu(1999), a scholar of China, defines reflective teaching and practice. With new curriculum standard implemented, teachers in Chinese middle school have to learn to conduct reflective teaching to keep up with the times’ requirements. Most of the previous studies tend to discuss reflective teaching from theory. Few studies apply theory of reflective teaching to teaching practice of middle school.
