Abstract

Teachers' reflection has become increasingly important in prompting their professional development and enhancing the quality of classroom teaching. In recent years, more attention has been given to exploring this research field with the aim to improve the quality of teachers' reflection. The application of smart classroom system facilitates the generation of classroom teaching analysis reports, which not only broadens the content of teachers' reflection but also enriches the methods of their reflection. From a human-machine collaboration perspective, this study constructed a practical framework for teachers' reflection based on smart classroom system. This study employed a mixed method integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches to explore the effects of teachers' reflection practices. The results indicated that there was a significant improvement in the breadth, depth, and participation of teachers' reflection after six weeks of practice. Finally, this study also discussed the advantages and limitations of "machines" and "humans" intelligence in the context of teachers' reflection practices.
