The influence of social reflection on the effectiveness of professional communication of teachers of pedagogical institutions of higher education was tested during a pedagogical experiment. Participants – masters of pedagogical specialties of 6 institutions of higher education of Ukraine, in particular EG – 110 people, KG – 104 people.

To determine the level of formation of individual components of the studied phenomenon, the following tools were used: motivational – the method of «Purpose in life Test» (Strumbaugh & Maholick (1964)), the questionnaire «Assessment of their own need to form social reflexivity»; cognitive – test tasks on pedagogical and psychological aspects of the studied phenomenon, pedagogical tasks; activity – the method of observation during the undergraduate pedagogical practice in higher education institutions, the method of «Differential of psychosocial development» V.O. Ilyin; evaluation – the method of determining the level of development of reflexivity A.V. Karpov and the method of A. Berezhnova «Reflection on self-development». For the overall assessment, A. Nasledov’s method was used, which was interpreted in accordance with our diagnostic program.
