Resumen

El interés principal de este estudio es explorar la enseñanza reflexiva para contribuir con el mejoramiento de las prácticas profesionales de los profesores de inglés. Este estudio exploratorio se centra en la identificación y explicación de las estrategias de enseñanza reflexiva y la comprensión de veintitrés informes de investigación llevados a cabo en ámbitos nacionales e internacionales. Basado en un análisis de contenido cuatro áreas de exploración emergieron: (a) las contribuciones y los usos de la enseñanza reflexiva como enfoque, (b) impacto en el desempeño del docente, (c) apoyo, tiempo y esfuerzo y (d) el entrenamiento de profesores en prácticas reflexivas. Los resultados indicaron que la enseñanza reflexiva parecía ser la mejor alternativa para crear conciencia y como un medio para animar a los profesores a abr ir sus mentes, actualizar sus metodologías de enseñanza y hacer ajustes a sus lecciones.
