A reflective university teacher in times which are not conducive to reflexivity

Summary/Abstract: Is it possible to be a successful teacher without being reflective? Does the word reflection fit in with a modern lifestyle? Does it align with a teacher's timetable? Being naturally associated with careful consideration, analysis, contemplation, a longer process, the concept of reflective teaching may sound outmoded. Yet, as studies show, being reflective continues to be one of the key competences in education. The article has a two-fold aim. First, it intends to show the concept of reflection in teaching with reference to three selected theories. Secondly, it presents a few practical tools and strategies which the author has used over the years in her own practice as a teacher and which have made her teaching more reflective and thereby more effective.
