Slide 26

Students Reflections: enhance the meaning of experiences. help with insights and complex learning. occur alone but are also enhanced when done with others. draw cognitive and emotional information from several sources: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile. apply to contexts beyond the situation in which learning occurred. 25

Slide 29

An Awareness of Our Own Processes as We Complete Them Metacognitive Reflection 28

Slide 30

Applicable After-the-fact reflection often dominates the reflection process. By giving students the big picture of learning (structure), students have a framework for assessing how past performance will influence future work. Reflection then has purpose with students -- know where they are going so they can improve the journey. 29

Slide 31

Sharing Once a classroom becomes a safe place the classroom can become a collective support instead of individual competition. By sharing reflections, students can both advise and seek help. Sharing achievements helps those who have struggled with a task. Sharing weak spots helps students troubleshoot as they work through a problem set. 30

Slide 32

Using The Digital Connection to Help Reflections to be Meaningful Metacognition: Keep a log of tasks and habits. Applicable/Documentation: Helps students reflect on past performance so they can improve. Sharing: Can be instantaneous when material is available online. 31
