Abstract: During post-lesson conferences, the trainers may adopt more or less directive supervisory styles, giving the pre-service teachers more or less of an opportunity to develop their reflective practice. Despite this, few studies have analyzed the actual practices of the three members of the triad from a fully cross-case perspective. This multi-case study presents an analysis of three post-lesson triad conferences. For this purpose, a grid for analyzing the professional practices of those in the triad was produced and used on the recordings of the post-lesson conferences. The results indicate that the pre-service teachers have a very short time to speak, which does not leave them much time to verbalize their reflective practice. The supervisor's professional practices were marked by a large amount of directive feedback. The professional practices of the cooperating teachers varied. These results highlight the need to further develop the reflective practices of preservice teachers during post-lesson conferences.
