Reflection

Reflection, self and peer assessment

Watch a student who has reflected on her MyScience experience give advice to other students who might be starting a MyScience investigation.

An excellent web site on Reflective Thinking provides extensive information including the characteristics of environments and activities that promote reflective thinking and a link to recommendations to promote reflective thinking. It includes students reflecting on what they already know, need to know and the process to achieve the relevant learning. It also includes the reflection on the learning process. Reflection is more effective if students have been provided with clear criteria for success. This enables students to make assessments of their own group or other groups’ processes or investigation reports. Students could complete this drag and drop activity supporting reflection and evaluation of their investigative processes.
