The Characteristics of Reflective Teacher and Reflective Teaching

Teachers use different tools and techniques to gain an understanding of the context in which the class is held in order to resolve problems through the process of reflection. In reflective practice, teachers observe their students’ reactions and the results of using a particular theory or technique in class and gather all their experiences in order to adapt or modify the theory chosen. In the process of reflection, teachers must relate teaching theory to teaching practice and observe the students’ responses regarding the findings of an appropriate theory or a technique. This paper focuses on the importance of reflective teaching and aims to introduce different perspectives involved in this issue.
