more about learning through reflecting

I at some point in my MA journey stopped and felt like I am not doing reflective learning the way it should be done. I came across a lot of materials in that area. This following video is one my favorite resources of explaining it.


This video is short, animated and fun.
It explains the idea by linking it to the learner behavior in which reflective learning turns merely passive students to fully active and engaged ones who are contributors in their own learning journey. This mode helps students remember things better and grow individually and socially.


Having a Skype one to one meeting with my teacher enlightened me to ways where I can improve my learning through reflecting habits:

1- Engage more with the author in a debate like nature. Quote him. Agree. Disagree. Compare with others' arguments.

2- Reflect on a personal level and a non personal.

3- Narrow down everything especially titles.

This video gives suggestions to start applying this learning method with learners:

It gives great times management tips and helpful instructions when applying reflective learning with students.

As I personally struggled in the beginning to grasp this idea and make the most out of it, I felt the need for further investigating it before adapting my teaching to this method.
