Ideas
Skill of Reflection and importance
Why writing a reflection?
A reflection is a thoughtful and intentional analysis of an
experience or learning process. It involves examining what
was learned, what was challenging, and what could be
improved. The primary goal of a reflection is to gain a deeper
understanding of oneself and to identify areas for growth and
development.
How to begin ?
Guided Writing Strategies
To help write their reflections, use the following strategies:
•Brainstorming: brainstorm ideas and themes related to the
experience.
•Mind mapping: create a mind map to visually organize thoughts
and ideas.
•Free writing: write freely without stopping or editing.
•Peer review: Pair up to review each other’s reflections and provide
feedback.
Common Challenges and Potential Solutions
As students navigate the reflection process, they may face the
following challenges:
•Difficulty in getting started: Solution: start writing a
prompt or a sentence starter, such as "In this experience, I
learned…"
•Lack of structure: Solution :Use reflective writing template
or a rubric to guide their writing.
•Fear of judgment: Solution: Be aware that reflections are
personal and confidential, and that the goal is to gain
understanding and improve.
