Reflection encourages students to take charge of their own learning by reviewing

Reflection encourages students to take charge of their own learning by reviewing a particular situation several times, exploring it from different points of view. This helps student to examine their own performance with more clarity than they might be about to do “in the heat of the moment” (Webb, 2018). Reflection can also help students build stronger connections among learning experiences. For example, when reflecting on the care they gave to an older adult, they may be able to see similarities and differences between this client and a younger adult. Reflection also encourages social interaction among instructor and students (Webb, 2018).
