Description (learning objectives)
Here you will find a structured debrief guide for student teachers reflecting on a school internship abroad. Organised across eight thematic areas — including opening narrative, peer learning, mentoring, cultural dimensions and language — it supports deep, forward-oriented reflection on the internship experience. The guide can be used as a self-reflection tool (written or recorded) or as a structured conversation guide between a student and their university educator. It is intended for use at the end of the internship abroad. This is the full version of the guide with extended prompts and interviewer guidance; a condensed version is also available.. Learning Objectives: - To be able to engage in structured, in-depth reflection on the full arc of the internship abroad, prioritising the why and how over descriptive narration. - To be able to identify and articulate formative experiences from the placement, including intercultural encounters, language challenges, and mentoring relationships. - To be able to connect the internship experience to their ongoing professional development and identify concrete next steps as a teacher.
-
Time required
The conversation itself requires approximately an hour, not including preparation time.
