On the following pages, I describe how, in the specifi c context of a public university, I have designed and implemented a set of tasks within a refl ective framework to support student- teachersʼ learning in their practicum. In this regard, a detailed explanation of how journal writing, conferences, focused refl ection on tasks and responses to observation notes is included. Likewise, the experience of a student teacher working with tasks to solve a diffi culty in the practicum, contributes to illustrate how refl ective exercises support her development.</p> ER -
