The purpose of this study was to analyze recent research into using reflective thinking as an effective means of improving teaching.

The specific research topics of this study were:
1) to define the concept of reflective thinking;
2) to analyze recent research on reflective teaching models and methods;
3) to analyze recent research on the levels of reflective thinking.
For this study, a literature review methodology was used.

The results of this study are as follows:
1) The concept of reflective thinking can be defined as thinking carefully and deeply about a teacher's own teaching methods and practical circumstances.
2) Possible reflective teaching models include videotaping a teacher's techniques, review/observation of videotape, in-depth interviewing, journal writing, etc.
3) Reflective thinking can be classified into three levels - technical, practical behavior, and critical reflection.
On the basis of these findings, it can be concluded that reflective thinking is an effective means of improving teaching.
This study suggests that various methods of reflective teaching should be developed by teacher educators and that further studies on factors influencing teachers' reflective thinking and teaching methods should be conducted continuously.

수업개선은 교사의 전문성 신장을 위한 필수적인 요소라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 최근 수업개선을 위한 방법으로 대두되고 있는 교사의 수업에 대한 반성적 사고의 의미를 구체적으로 파악할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 교사의 전문성 신장을 위해 수업개선이 필요하다고 보고, 수업개선을 위한 하나의 방안으로서의 반성적 사고의 의미를 선행연구를 중심으로 고찰하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 본 논문의 주요내용은 반성적 사고와 반성적 수업의 개념, 반성적 사고수준, 반성적 수업모형, 반성적 사고를 촉진하는 방법 등이며, 이를 기초로 수업개선을 위한 반성적 수업 프로그램 개발의 당위성을 제안하고자 하였다.
