reflections

Using reflections as an assessment helps learners deepen their self-awareness and promotes metacognition and personal growth through self-assessment and analysis of their work, decisions and outcomes. Rather than searching for the 'right' answer, reflective practice allows learning to occur through mistakes, errors and responses to challenges. Learners can adapt and improve their future performance by analysing what went wrong and considering alternative approaches. Practices such as auto-ethnography, journaling, blogging, performance reviews, and portfolios allow learners to develop habits that foster a mindset of continuous learning, self-improvement and lifelong learning.
