learning and professional development have parallel nature and feature to constructivist young learners’ learning. It can also be said that as modern approach to instruction and teacher CPD, reflective teaching is consistent with constructivist theories of instruction and teacher CPD. Thus, the researcher believes that the principles of constructivist theory are applicable to this study which considered EFL teachers as active and self-directed adult learners through reflection that involves them teaching
