Experience of Student Teachers as a Source of their Pedagogical Knowledge

The article outlines the transformation of educational experience of student teachers in solving educational situations into their pedagogical knowledge, using self-reflection. Self-reflection is not understood here only as a turn to the past (to what a student was doing) but mainly to the future. So it does not concern introspection, but active anticipation of new educational situations by a student and his/her practical behaviour. The author tried to determine basic moments of the process of transforming educational experience into knowledge: attempts of a student to act actively in an educational situation, feed-back from students (how their attention was attracted during microteaching), but also from observing colleagues, self-reflection, students searching for the dynamism of his/her behaviour (contrasts between what he/she already knows and what he/she still does not know, what he/she still lacks to manage the situation, which can lead to understanding this situation), the repetition of student attempts to act in another educational situation, the higher level of student self-reflection with the utilization of feedback.
