Abstract
"Experiences are learning “tools” in the process of human development. We all go
through different situations which make us grow both, in our personal and professional lives.
At present, the focus in teachers’ lives and in the roll experiences take in teachers’
professional development has increased significantly due to the demand of a higher quality of
education in the world. Furthermore, teachers play an essential role in the success of
educational institutes and therefore in the learning of students. In addition, teachers’ professional development does not only come from the
preparation and formation of teachers’ professional knowledge in educational programs, but
also from the events teachers face throughout their professional lives and from how they
transform their knowledge into practice to benefit students’ learning, how they act in their
contexts, how they interact with colleagues, students and parents and their daily routines they
have inside and outside the classroom, in other words how they adapt themselves to the
environment in which they work (Avalos, 2010; Rodriguez, 2011). Moreover, pre-service teachers often have little support and have to face and handle all
these events by themselves."
