Abstract: In this study, the need to include in pedagogical activity in the higher school of reflection as an additional tool of interaction between the teacher and the student is considered. A modern educator should not just transfer knowledge and teach students professional skills but also help them to develop themselves. Reflection as an obligatory element of pedagogical activity in higher education will help the teacher to improve his level, conduct classes more effectively. In this study, we paid attention to the fact that the teacher of higher education should regularly improve his professional level, not forgetting about personal growth. Stopping in development will lead to the fact that the teacher will use outdated methods of teaching that do not bring efficiency. Also, as a result of this, the ability of a higher school teacher to change in the activities of higher education is reduced.
