Reflective Learning




Reflective Learning consists of reviewing and questioning our own individual learning experiences, and can be done through analysing our work; using thinking skills to evaluate information. It 's all about being in control of our own development; allowing us to engage with our learning and be able to develop our knowledge. Reflective learning leads us to consider the purpose behind our studies, and provokes us to challenge what we thought we already knew. In order to be successful with our active learning, we should follow the process of thinking over what we've done, and begin to question it. There are six main questions to consider when refecting on your work. These include, What is our information for? Why do we need it?, What are the problems and/or solutions with it? What is our reaction towards it? and What can we do to achieve this?

I find refective learning very beneficial, as I am able to establish connections and relationships within my work, which ultimately triggers other aspects and areas of knowledge when questioned. It also allows me to evaluate my progress, and allows me to plan my future work and assess what I need to do to improve.
