| Summary: | Literature reiterates that collaborative inquiry and cooperation with colleagues enhance teacher learning. The experiences and encounters of a two-year Teacher Learning Circle (TLC) project in Malaysia, affirms that teachers do achieve higher levels of pedagogical proficiency through peer observation, joint planning, and post lesson evaluation that allow critical review and reinterpretation of their own teaching.Three major characteristic dimensions-detached talk to collegiality,adoption of key principles, and depths of pedagogical talks did indicate the nature of teacher interactions and the complex dynamics of the teacher learning circles.Judiciously implemented TLC would make a difference in teacher learning. |
