The Benefits of Dialogue Journals: What Prospective Teachers Say

Investigated preservice teachers' perceptions of the benefits and drawbacks to using dialogue journals in a multicultural teacher education course. Students perceived many benefits related to facilitation of learning, self-reflection, self-understanding, procedural convenience, expression of ideas, feedback, and teacher student relationships. Drawbacks related to journal requirements and procedures (e.g., submitting two journals each week) and time demands. (SM)
