Reflective Learning Articles

There were two reflective learning documents that we had been given to read and summarise.  The first article was 'Blogs as a Reflective Learning Tool'.  This document highlighted why reflecting learning was necessary and how blogging instead keeping a handwritten diary was easier.  The document also involved two different theorists; Kolb and Gibbs.  Kolb created a cycle which consisted of four different experiences from learning; Experiencing, reflection, conceptualization and planning.  Gibbs also had a cycle however his takes in to account an individuals feeling and emotions.  The six stages of his cycle were; Description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action plan. 

In the second document 'Reflective Learning' it spoke about what reflective learner is, the importance of reflection and ways to develop being a reflective learner.  It stated that reflective learners constantly r reflective on what they are learning and how they are learning.  Being a reflective learning is important as it helps an individual develop and work on different learning strategies.  Reflective learners develop by keeping a record of their thoughts and feelings about learning.
