Reflective Journaling
In The STEM and Science
Classroom
Research has shown that the regular habit of journal writing can deepen
students’ thinking about their course subjects by helping them to see that
an academic field is an arena for wonder, inquiry, and controversy rather
than simply a new body of information. John C. Bean
Leonardo Da Vinci was an advocate of careful empirical
observation and experience to obtain reliable knowledge about
how the world really works.
Reflective journaling is a student-created learning resource.
Reflective journals can be used for formative assessment purposes.
The reflective journal is a compilation of questions, thoughts, ideas
and samples, it’s ever-changing.
Students are encouraged to secure 2 and 3-D samples from their
investigations into their reflective journals.
Students can record quantitative and qualitative data in their
reflective journals.
Reflective journals can be peer reviewed, and encourage collaboration among students.
The most powerful component of reflective journaling is that it allows
the student to take ownership of their learning.
