Reflective teaching involves analyzing one's own instructional strategies through critical reflection and self-evaluation in order to improve or modify teaching approaches for the benefit of students. It enables teachers to examine their performance, adjust to problems, share experiences, try new things, and find innovative ways to engage students. Reflective teaching is based on self-observation and focusing on self-improvement, and leads to professional development, improved student-teacher relationships, promotion of innovation, and enhanced problem-solving skills.
