a. What is a reflective journal?
A reflective journal - often called a learning journal - is a steadily growing
document that you (the learner) write, to record the progress of your learning. You
can keep a learning journal for any course that you undertake, or even for your
daily work.
A reflective journal is not...
- simply a summary of what you did or learned. Focus more on your reactions to
what you've done, been asked to do, read, and what you've been learning.
- a learning log. On a learning log you might write down the times and days when
you read something. A log is a record of events, but a journal is a record of your
reflections and thoughts.
