Then tell them what you told them.

How do we teach students to reflect?
Learning is creating meaning and knowledge forms
Reflective Questions
• Do I agree? If so (or not), why? What is missing? What must be qualified? What are the pros’ and cons’?
• How complex is this? How can I ‘breakdown’ the subject matter? How can I be creative?
• How useful is this information? What area of my life is affected?
• Does this change my values?
7 - Provide Feedback
8 - Assess Performance
9 - Enhance Retention& Transfer
<How can learning be extended beyond the two sessions?>
“I store my knowledge in my friends”

ISSUES in PLANNING
• Over and under plan?
• Can I plan to “not finish the syllabus”?
• Can one plan be used for all classes/ cohorts?
• Is it a good plan to have weeks of revision before the major examinations?
What have you learnt? (Part B)
• Sequence (classic vs ‘jazz’? Linear vs loopy?)
• Activities e.g. differentiation?!
• Role of learner vis-à-vis facilitator
• Ambivalence of plan and actual practice
• Etc, etc, etc.!
