Introduction: This paper explores the pivotal role of continual reflection and collaboration for physical education teachers in advancing their professional development. The study focuses on the effectiveness of Gibbs Model and Glatthorn's collegial growth paradigm in enhancing teachers' self-reflection abilities.
Objective: Assess the impact of collaborative group reflection on physical education teachers' professional development, utilizing Gibbs Model and Glatthorn's collegial growth paradigm. The study aims to measure changes in reflective practices and identify factors influencing teacher participation in collaborative reflection.
Methods: The research employed pre- and post-self-assessed reflective questionnaires, focus group discussions, and peer observations. A Likert scale questionnaire measured changes in reflective skills, while focus group discussions provided qualitative insights. Peer observation rubrics assessed various teaching criteria.
Results: Findings indicate collaborative group reflection as a valuable tool for professional development, despite challenges like time constraints. The study emphasizes leadership and peer support as positive outcomes. Quantitative analysis showed a significant increase in the level of reflection among participating teachers.
Conclusion: The paper underscores the importance of collaboration in fostering efficient reflection for professional development among physical education teachers. Recommendations include incorporating stages from Gibbs's Reflection Cycle and Glatthorn's collegial growth paradigm in professional development programs. Rigorous analysis, including the chi-square test for independence and content analysis, ensured the validity and reliability of the study's findings, facilitating a comprehensive interpretation of the results.
