Teacher education practices of an experienced teacher in an induction program: a case study Abstract
Considering the theoretical references on the teaching knowledge base, conversations between teachers, and the teacher's thoughts, we analyze the formative practice of an experienced teacher while acting as a mentor to a novice teacher in an induction program. We conducted a descriptive-analytical exploratory case study about the virtual interactions established between them. The analysis of the mentor’s written narrative unveils her pedagogical reasoning through several formative actions related to the novice. The analysis of the mentor's written narratives revealed her pedagogical reasoning through several formative actions related to the novices' practices and the problems she faced. The reflective processes encouraged the mentee to look at her practice, design alternative ways of acting, and implement them
