Development of professional reflection of students of future teachers-psychologists by means of imitation game

This article attempts to reveal the influence of active teaching methods on the development of professional reflection and, subsequently, on the formation of a future specialist. Based on the idea of the need to develop professional reflection and reflection in general for successful future activities, the primary diagnosis of students of educational psychologists was carried out in order to identify the level of reflection. The next stage was to conduct an imitation game with them (a method of active learning), affecting the field of their future professional activity. To obtain the effectiveness of this method, a repeated diagnosis of the level of reflection was carried out, which proved the effectiveness of this method in increasing the level of reflection in students.
