Reflections can be defined as: ‘the conscious and careful considerations about one’s actions and about the thinking that accompanies actions.’
Reflection, particularly in problem-based learning has a prominent place. You don’t have an exam with which to test either new or old knowledge, nor if you can analyse, evaluate or apply this knowledge. What you learn is determined by YOU, and to a certain extent, your group. Mostly you will learn skills and knowledge without realising that you are learning. Reflection before, during and after the activity will help you realise what you have learnt and what you did not achieve and perhaps what you could have done better.
There are three reflection stages to enhance the learning process:
- before (for) decide what the learning process will be to meet needs (personal and
group);
- during (in) the project to consider how the process and learning goals are being achieved
and what action needs to be taken;
- after (on) the process to decide if goals have been met, what could have been done
better etc.
Students should, on a daily/weekly basis, record their reflections on their interactions with the learning resources i.e. books, journals, electronic materials, lecturers, fellow students and group members.
To help this process you could ask yourself and think about the responses to the following questions?
• What have you done in this session that has helped you the most, learn about the topic? • What would you do differently in the next session to help you make the most of learning opportunity?
After the first round of this process you could then add the question:
• What have you done differently in this session that has helped you improve your learning about the topic?
You will capture your reflections in an electronic journal that is part of the blackboard system (just click on the tab reflective journal tab on the left hand side of the whole life costing module blackboard page.
