Resumen

Esta investigación acción cualitativa explora el papel de la reflexión en el crecimiento personal y profesional de los profesores, a través de la metodología (enfoque multidimensional) del seminario Desarrollo de Materiales, de la maestría en Educación con énfasis en Didáctica del Inglés en una universidad privada en Bogotá, Colombia. El estudio se realizó con 31 profesores utilizando dos instrumentos: una encuesta y una reflexión escrita. Los hallazgos sugieren que la reflexión es un aspecto crítico en el crecimiento personal y profesional de los profesores en la concienciación de su desarrollo personal y profesional; en la creación de una atmósfera de reflexión y aprendizaje y un estado de afecto positivo. Adicionalmente, varios profesores son hoy autores de textos de enseñanza de inglés como lengua extranjera en una casa editorial reconocida en Colombia.
