Abstract: Under the current context of high-quality development in preschool education, cultivating preschool education majors with strong reflective teaching abilities has become crucial to meeting the demands of kindergarten positions and promoting sustainable professional development of teachers. However, vocational college preschool education majors face issues such as weak professional situation response, lack of interest and scientificity in activity design, and closed teacher language in practical teaching. The root causes lie in the disconnection between the curriculum system and job requirements, insufficient practical experience of student teachers, and an incomplete reflective evaluation system. To meet the demand for reflective teachers in high-quality preschool education, we can enhance depth reflection through on-site experience, guide deep reflection with reflective tools, and promote cooperative reflection by building a reflective community, thus forming a closed loop for improving reflective teaching abilities.
