Abstract


Developing reflexive competence is essential for preparing vocational education teachers to evaluate their professional decisions and adapt to changing technical demands. This study investigated an interdisciplinary instructional approach integrating automotive technical education and foreign-language learning, supported by specialized textbooks and a mobile dictionary application. A pedagogical experiment was conducted at three universities in Uzbekistan between 2022 and 2025. Students in experimental and control groups were assessed using motivational, cognitive-activity, and activity-reflexive criteria. The proportion of experimental-group students achieving a high competence level increased from 13.0 to 29.8%, whereas the control group showed a smaller improvement. Integrating technical knowledge, language learning, and structured reflection can support the professional development of future vocational education teachers.
