By adopting reflective teaching pedagogy teacher educator imparts inspiration among teacher trainees, so as to enable them to practice the same in their teaching practice sessions. The paper focuses on the importance of innovative teaching –learning pedagogy that should be practiced in open and distance education to sustain interest among teacher trainees who obtain the teacher training degree through open and distance education.

The teacher trainees were trained to adopt the reflective teaching-learning methodology during their teaching practice period. The result was found to be favorable as it reflected on better academic performance of the students in whose class the reflective teaching- learning pedagogy was practiced.
