Resumen

Este artículo explora las reflexiones de ocho maestros de inglés principiantes y un instructor en México a partir de incidentes críticos. Basada en un enfoque narrativo y el uso de diarios, se investigaron los incidentes críticos y la manera en que éstos han impactado a los maestros novatos en su manera de pensar. A partir de los datos surgieron siete temas que giran en torno a las relaciones que se establecen entre maestro y estudiantes, la identidad emergente de los maestros novatos y la reflexión del tutor acerca de la transferencia del conocimiento. Los resultados mostraron cómo los maestros reflexionaron sobre su práctica docente y cómo los incidentes críticos los ayudaron a analizar y evaluar su proceso de enseñanza.
