Reflection

Reflective: Ready willing and able to become more strategic about learning.

The ability to reflect on your learning and situations around you is an important disposition to develop in all learners.
Reflection 
We believe that planning  what you are going to learn based on what learning has gone before, will enable learners to build on previous experiences in order to develop profound learning right now as well as into the future.  Research tells us that keeping an open mind  about where you have been, where you are going and how to proceed enables us to change tack when necessary, mull over our experiences,  draw out lessons and generalisations as well as look for new contexts for learning (Claxton, 2007).
