Reflection as a central element of the teaching practice

Abstract

Since the last century to the present times, a number of changes have emerged related to the lifestyle of people and organizations that tend to reduce the spaces that the professionals in education use to reflect on their actions inside and outside the classroom, which leads to a weak teaching practice that does not produce significant results in the training of the students. For this reason, it is necessary to incorporate reflection as an indispensable element in the teaching practice, which is defined as those behaviors in the classroom that originate both inside and outside. Finally, when a reflective practice is implemented it contributes to the growth of teachers, students and society itself.
