Reflective learning

Reflective learning is a form of education in which the student reflects upon their learning experiences. A theory about reflective learning cites it as an intentional and complex process that recognize the role of social context and experience.[1] The goals of the process are the clarification and the creation of meaning in terms of self, which then lead to a changed conceptual perspective.[2]

Development

This is a development of the concept of experiential learning as propounded by John Dewey, who wrote Experience and Education in 1938. Later theorists include David Kolb, David Boud and Donald Schön.[3][4] In a professional context, this is known as reflective practice, wherein the use of the reflective process allows one to understand experiences differently and take action accordingly.[5]
