The role of teachers is to lead individual students to step in their right direction. Thus, teachers need the ability to transform themselves through reflective practices. I have been observing the reflective practices of two preservice teachers during their student teaching. Data were drawn from students' journals, papers, interviews with their supervisor (the author), their responses in the seminar class, and field notes from observations during their student teaching. This study has found it was difficult for the two student teachers to establish sufficient reflective practices, although they showed some cognitive growth. The lack of perception of teaching, the lack of skills to study and the strong influence of their early experiences are all linked with their insufficient reflective practices.
