The teacher participants also perceived the self-reflectivespiral of reflection and action to be crucial inestablishing new habits of inquiry and reflectionabout their own pedagogical actions. The findings support earlier studies (e.g., Price & Valli, 2005;Steven & Kitchen, 2005, 2011) concerning the necessity of including knowledge of systematic ARin teacher preparation programs in order to foster strong habits of inquiry and reflection amongpreservice teachers.
