Reflective Teaching Competence Through AI and Modern Technologies

This book explores the integration of modern technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the development of reflective competencies among future preschool teachers. As education shifts towards digitalization, reflective thinking becomes a crucial skill for teachers to evaluate, adapt, and improve their practices. The book provides a comprehensive overview of how digital platforms, virtual simulations, AI-based feedback systems, and e-portfolios can support teacher training programs. It emphasizes how these technologies enhance critical thinking, self-assessment, and problem-solving abilities. Drawing on recent research, case studies, and pedagogical frameworks, the book offers practical strategies for integrating AI tools in teacher education curricula. It is intended for educators, researchers, and policymakers seeking to improve the quality of preschool teacher preparation through innovative, reflective, and evidence-based approaches. The book also discusses ethical considerations and the importance of digital literacy in the context of early childhood education.
