Reflection is a meaning making process that moves
a learner from one experience into the next with
deeper understanding of its relationships with and
its connections to other experiences and ideas.
Reflection is a systematic, rigorous way of thinking,
with its roots in scientific inquiry.
Reflection needs to happen in community, in
interaction with others
Reflection requires attitudes that value the personal
and intellectual growth of oneself and others.
