" How does writing reflection help the learner’s learning? "
This was posted in my notes today. A very interesting question, as I feel that many people have a "problem-solving" concept when dealing with learning.
Simply, question and answer sessions.
In my perspective, reflection adds a form of dynamism to the approach of problem and answer.
Writing a reflection helps the learner to retrace the steps taken during the learning process. From looking at the question to gathering of knowledge and filtration of the most important concepts during the learning process.
In addition, the learner would evaluate about what he/she has learnt. A review of "what has been done" is important as the learner would need to know what points to take note of, which aspects of the learning is important and what more needs to be done.
From today's class, i have learnt that reflections need not neccessarily have "follow up actions". Somehow, i always had the impression that after doing some reflections, we would need to act on them, which isn't neccessarily true.
What do you think?
