The role of a self-reflective diary in stimulating pedagogues' professional development in the domain of cooperation with families

In this paper a self-reflective diary refers to written documentation of one´s own understandings of professional reality and activities in this reality, directed toward one´s own self-education and upgrading the quality of one´s personal pedagogical practice. The objective of this paper is to describe the role a self-reflective diary can have in stimulating pedagogues´ professional development in the domain of cooperation with families, done through theoretical elaboration of the importance of self-reflection in the pedagogical profession and presentation of the original framework of a self-reflective diary focused on cooperation between pedagogues and families. The concluding part of the paper discusses the possibilities of wider application of the diary in the context of pedagogues´ (self-)education for cooperation with families.
