According to Jack C.

Richards (2007), reflective teaching is parallel processing in

critical self-examination and reflection in terms of making a decision, planning, and
action. Moreover, it also helps teachers to enhance their confidence in trying various
methods and evaluating their effects on teaching. Cross (1988) indicated that teachers
tend to apply the reflective teaching method to assess whether there is a gap between
the lesson they teach and the knowledge the students gain. After that, the teachers can
find out a suitable solution to change their teaching practices with the purpose of
raising students’ learning outcomes. Besides, Bartlett (1990) and Wallace (1991)
showed that teaching reflective includes making questions about why and how things
are the way they are, what alternative methods would be replaced.
