REFLECTION AS A SELF-IMPROVEMENT TOOL IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOFT SKILLS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

This article discusses the problems of developing the soft skills of high school students and the possibility of using reflection as a tool for their self-improvement. The research was conducted to consider the impact of reflection as a self-improvement tool on the development of soft skills of high school students and to develop recommendations for the introduction of effective reflective practices in high school. The main research methods were a literary analysis of available sources, an analysis of the standard of education of curricula and lesson plans, questionnaires among teachers, parents, and high school students, as well as modeling methods.

The importance of reflection in the formation of a person's personality in conditions of specially organized educational activities is indicated. Reflexive practices have been identified that can be used to develop soft skills in high school students. At the same time, teachers, students, and parents believe that this area needs to be intensified. This requires comprehensive measures to raise awareness, educate, and support all participants in the education process, especially in high school. The results obtained allow us to recognize reflection as an effective tool for selfimprovement in the development of soft skills of high school students. It has been established that reflexive practices have a beneficial impact on the development of soft skills in high school students, especially in critical thinking and communication skills. Recommendations are made on the use of reflexive practices for high school students and on the further development of soft skills that have not shown significant improvement. Based on this, the study has both theoretical and practical significance.
