Reflective learning is central to understanding the experiential
learning process. Reflection can lead to greater self-awareness, which
in turn is a first step to positive change. Taking time to reflect can
help students identify approaches that have worked well, and in that way
reinforce good practice and reflect on why some approaches did not work
. Such metacognitive strategies can enable students to transfer
learning to other disciplines and domains. As a result, they gain confidence and become more independent as learners. Independence leads to ownership as students realize that they can pursue their own intellectual needs and discover a world of information at their fingertips. Teachers should model metacognitive and self-explanation strategies on various tasks to help students build an integrated understanding of the process of reflection.
