With implementation of the New Curriculum Reform, demands for teachers graduallyimprove. The gradually mature process of novice teachers has manifested the course ofteachers’ specialized development. Teachers’ career developments based on the teachingreflection also receives more and more attention.

Since teaching reflection has always been an effective method of raisingpersonal business level, now many teachers can observe their own success and failurewhich come from their own educational practice, and improve the quality of teachingreflection through education cases, education stories, or the education experience and so on.Teaching reflection is helpful to teachers’ professional development.Scholars concentrate on the theoretical aspect of teaching reflection and most researchcontents are about what teaching reflection should be, but studies on the practice are only afew. Especially studies on the reflection situation of student teachers who are a specialcommunity are extremely rare. Therefore, this research takes biology student teachers asthe object of study, discusses teaching reflection of biology student teachers oncharacteristics of contents, types, levels and modes and attempts to find the influencefactors of teaching reflection. At last the author puts forward several proposals related toteaching reflection to the student teacher. This research indicates that, the biology studentteacher involves a wide range of teaching reflection contents, which mainly manifests inthe teaching aspects.
