Reflection on your learning experience

If you are new to reflecting on your learning experience below are some links to guide you in this:

• This is a useful link to a short questionnaire that will help you identify your learning style - go to pages 36-49 of the document What is Effective Learning? 
• You can access another link here to find out about your learning styles. 
• The following outlines two models that you can use to reflect: Gibb's Reflective Cycle and Rolfe et al Framework for Reflexive Practice
• This article by Jenny Moon provides examples exploring issues of quality and depth in reflection: Defining and improving the quality of reflective learning
• The following may also be a useful guide of the type of reflection activities that you can do. They are based on work by Julie Hatcher, Robert Bringle and Diane Sloan.
