Here are some ideas to help you get the most out of reflecting on your learning:
- How well do I think I have done recently?
- Which bits was I best at?
- What did I find difficult?
- What things do I need to improve on?
- What have I learnt recently?
Going further: For each thing you have written, think about…
- How do I know?
- What have I done that tells me this?
- How long it took?
- My confidence with it?
- My enjoyment?
Regularly reflecting will help you to:
- understand what you have studied better
- celebrate your successes
- recognise weaknesses that need addressing
- discuss different aspects of the courses you are studying
- share your thoughts and ideas with others
- connect to other students and teachers
- look back over your learning to see how you have progressed
