In addition, the integration of innovative teaching methods and reflective practices contributes to the enhancement of students’ professional identity and image.The study also highlights the importance of systematic and targeted pedagogical interventions in fostering a positive and sustainable professional image among future teachers. Based on the results, practical recommendations are proposed for higher education institutions to improve teacher training programs. These include the implementation of competence-based approaches, the development of reflective skills, and the creation of supportive learning environments.
