Reflective learning

PDP is based on introspective learning theory and emphasizes that learning is derived from our experience and continually updated by thinking about our experiences. A very important aspect of introspective learning is that it is a process that we can understand ourselves. Gibbs' reflex cycle identified 6 stages of contemplation to help students understand learning experiences.

In higher education and graduate employment, the importance of becoming an introspective learner is highly appreciated. This means what students can do:

Sometimes we will review what happened to us. PDP makes this process more formal. Students are often required to write their opinions in the form of blogs or introspection reports. This encourages students' customs. Students' habits help to become more reflective learners.

A useful starting point for contemplation is to identify 'important events' (Brookfield 1987) This is not necessarily a dramatic event, but a series of ideas that lead students to learn new things about themselves Just trigger it.

As you may already know, there are many ways to learn. Reflective learning has been the focus of education in the past few decades. Reflective learning includes thinking about what students are reading, how they are completing, what they are learning, tying the course in front of you to your life, and getting meaning from the materials. In fact, we are not only remembering expressions, dates. Kolbe developed a complete learning cycle that includes elements of emotion, observation, thinking, and behavior. In this cycle, learners actively observe, conceptualize, experiment, and eventually experience. Kolb believes that the various steps of this cycle are very important for being a reflectionist.

Reflection learning is a form of education that allows students to look back on their learning experiences. This is the development of the experimental learning concept proposed by John Dewey who wrote experience and education in 1938. Later theorists were David Kolb, David Bude, Donald Schon. Professionally, this is called Reflection Practice.

Reflective learning takes place in several areas such as education, nursing, pediatrics, social work and so on. Several overlapping terms reflexive learning, critical reflection, transitive learning, and behavioral research are also used to describe reflective learning. Reflective learning can be defined as "internal review and exploration of the process of interest that leads to the creation and clarification of self-significance and change of conceptual concepts as a trigger" (Lam, Wong & Leung, 2007: 93). Therefore, learning is a positive development process and personal responsibility. The knowledge that people learn will be part of the knowledge system that will be incorporated into future introspective observations. Reflex learning can be viewed as a cumulative process of past experience and contemplation shaping and building future learning (quoted in Boyd & Fales, 1985, Lam et al., 2007: 93).

Reflective learning According to Boyd & Fales (1983: 110), reflective learning is a process of searching for internal reviews and empirically focused concerns, creating and clarifying self-significance, change in the view of the concept I will. Reflection learning is an important element in learning from experience. Reflective learning emphasizes that self is the source of learning and is therefore essentially a personal and interactive process. Reflective Journal Writing Journalism and rewriting is an educational strategy that allows students to write down their experiences and feelings in their own writing style and to further refocus and analyze (Heath, 1998: 593). Students in the environment need to learn and evaluate the advances of learners' self-study skills
