Abstract
The thesis deals with a topic of teacher self
-
reflection as one of the teacher key
competences.
I
t consists of a practical and
theoretical part. The theoretical part emphasises the importance
of   teacher   professional   development   and   presents   reflective   approach   to   teaching   and
individual   self
-
reflective   methods   as   a   possible   way   of   work   o
n a teacher‟s growth. The
practical   part   demonstrates   the   use   of   three   chosen   reflective   methods:   a   teaching   journal,
questionnaire   and   observation,   for   revealing   teaching   problems   in   the   practice   of   a
basic
school   English   teacher.
Possible   causes   of   the
se
problems   are   identified   and
followed   by
suggested
solutions
.
Further,   positives   and   negatives   of   the   used   reflective   methods   are
discussed.
