Problem: “Students don’t know how to reflect”

But…

• Were they taught how to reflect?
• Were they given time and regularity to reflect?
• Were there tools that easily support reflection?
• Do we (as educators) know what quality reflection looks like?
• Will this vary (and need to be taught again) for different discipline contexts?

Giving students time to reflect

• Build into curriculum
• Build like a muscle - ‘One and done’ is not enough
• Incorporate into each week or class where possible

Teaching students to reflect

• Framing and relevance
• Introduction and orientation (e.g. Purpose, motivation)
• Using a reflection model
• Considering contextual use for your discipline

Tools to support process

Technology can be complex - need easy tools and early low risk settings

• Reflection models or frameworks
• Templates
• Rubrics
• Analytics and feedback opportunities
• Examples and idea generation
