Abstract	:	This study explores the understanding and perceptions of EFL instructors about their reflective practice and its effect on their professional development in Jeddah University through four dimensions; practical, cognitive and meta-cognitive, moral and learner and reflective teaching in general. This study adopts an explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Two study instruments were used; a survey questionnaire with a study sample of 50 male and 50 female participants and semi-structured interviews with a study sample of seven female instructors. Findings show that 30 % of the instructors have a comprehensive understanding of a reflective practice and all of its components, while others seem to be unaware of its usefulness in an EFL context. It is also evident from the data that the instructors utilize a diversity of reflective tools. Female instructors show a greater degree of involvement in a reflective practice than male instructors in three of the four examined dimensions (cognitive and meta-cognitive, moral and learner and reflective teaching in general). However, no significant difference is reported between males’ and females’ perceptions in terms of the fourth dimension (practical). Based on the findings, it is suggested that additional professional development activities related to a reflective practice should be offered to further engage the EFL instructors in a comprehensive understanding of a reflective practice and its integration in EFL classrooms.
