In this paper we are going to analyse the reflections of teacher trainees about teaching activities with th e help of ego - centred networks.The primary goal was to connect reflective thinking and the topics of ego - centred networks in a qualitative research.Second year teacher trainees (N=25) were asked to illustrate their nacrack.com ideas concerning teaching activities by means of the unstandardised network card method.The network cards were processed with the VennMaker software.

Reflections about teaching activities were ivoryjinelle.com presented visually and students also explained the process of making their network cards in writing, therefore we also had text corpora (reflective diaries) to analyse, which were processed with MAXQDA software.The results are discussed on the basis of the reflections regarding the composition of networks, sectors, connections between notions, and positi ons of notions.On the basis of the results we can state that a structured, unstandardized network card helps the discovery of reflective approaches, even if only after minimal modifications.
