The development of a reflective stance in teaching is crucial for effective professional growth. This article examines the importance of reflective practice in education and how it contributes to teacher development. Reflective practice encourages educators to critically evaluate their teaching methods and student interactions, leading to improved instructional strategies and better learning outcomes. The article explores theoretical foundations, methodologies employed in fostering reflective practices among teachers, and concludes with recommendations for integrating reflection into ongoing professional development programs
