- Abstract
- Professional experience placements are recognised as a critical element in initial teacher education programs, however, supervising and mentoring pre-service teachers is challenging work as those involved in the process face professional dilemmas as they attempt to address the needs of various stakeholders. In this paper I draw from data collected in a self-study of mentoring and explore how critical reflection may provide a deeper understanding of these dilemmas. Through adapting and applying an ethical mapping framework as a cue for reflection, I examine the possibilities this approach offers in coming to an understanding of effective and ethical practice during professional experience placements. This paper focuses on two professional dilemmas to explore the way the cue can be used to critically reflect on mentoring and outlines the process I took in engaging in this reflection. I argue that ethical mapping offers university mentors and those working in initial teacher education with a structured approach for critical reflection to understand practice, and to articulate their pedagogy.
