Abstract: The action-reflection path of the generation of teacher’s practical knowledge, which is the inherent requirement for the generation of teacher practical knowledge, involves three dimensions: reflection-on-action, reflection-in-action and reflection-of-action. Firstly, action- reflection is the prerequisite of the generation of teacher’s practical knowledge which helps teachers learn how to teach. Secondly, action-reflection is the major source of teacher’s practical knowledge which helps teacher to accumulate teaching experiences. Finally, action-reflection is the major driving force of promoting the transformation among three dimensions of teacher’s practical knowledge, in other words, it helps to smoothly transform knowledge-for-practice, knowledge-in-practice to knowledge-of-practice. Through action-reflection at various levels, teacher’s practical knowledge is finally formed.

Key words: teacher’s practical knowledge, action-reflection, knowledge generation
