Abstract

This systematic review aims to document, analyze and synthesize the latest research related to reflective teaching and professional development in pre-service English teachers. The reasoning behind this review is to substantiate that acquiring a reflective teaching practice can be the best alternative for novice teachers to open their minds, renovate their teaching methodologies and knowledge, and adapt their teaching practice to be able to become outstanding language educators. Thirteen articles have been systematically reviewed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline and five exploration issues emerged: (a) the relation between reflective teaching and professional development, (b) reflective teaching benefits, (c) the efficacy of reflective teaching, (d) the continuity of reflective teaching and (e) reflective teaching strategies. The obtained results show different advantageous benefits such as learning from peers by sharing similar experiences, structure and restructure of new teaching knowledge, and the development of continuous resilience to deal with and overcome difficulties in the professional practice. This review suggests that future research should concentrate on programs addressing the importance of being reflective by introducing the topic before teaching practicum which is key for faster integrated professional development.

反思性教学对职前英语教师专业发展的影响：系统回顾

本系统性综述旨在记录、分析和综合与职前英语教师反思性教学和专业发展相关的最新研究。本综述旨在证明，反思性教学实践是新手教师打开思路、更新教学方法和知识、调整教学实践、成为优秀语言教育工作者的最佳选择。根据系统综述和元分析首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南，对 13 篇文章进行了系统综述，并提出了五个探讨问题：（a）反思性教学与专业发展的关系；（b）反思性教学的益处；（c）反思性教学的功效；（d）反思性教学的持续性；（e）反思性教学策略。研究结果表明，反思性教学具有不同的优势，如通过分享类似经验向同行学习、构建和重组新的教学知识，以及培养持续的应变能力，以应对和克服专业实践中的困难。本综述建议，今后的研究应集中在通过在教学实习前引入反思主题来解决反思重要性的项目上，这是加快综合专业发展的关键。
