The article examines the role of reflective practice in the professional development of philology students during micro-teaching
sessions. The study aimed to determine the impact of structured reflection on methodological awareness and teaching analysis
skills. Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle served as the theoretical framework. A mixed-methods design was used with 21 third-year
students at Namangan State Institute of Foreign Languages. Data collection included pre/post surveys, assessment rubrics, peer
feedback forms, interviews, and analysis of ICT-based tasks. Results showed increased understanding of reflection (from 20% to
70%), improved lesson self-analysis, and higher methodological awareness. The findings confirm that systematic reflective
practice effectively supports the development of professional teaching competencies.
