    Reflections on Reflective Learning ;)

    Did you find the concept of Reflective Learning useful? What are the advantages of being a Reflective Learner?

    e.g. 

    Yes, absolutely. Now I’m much more aware of my learning techniques and I focus more on how I can improve myself based on the information I’ve collected during this project.


     

    You know your strengths and weaknesses and you understand how you learn, you also learn from your mistakes.

    I found it hugely useful. Being a Reflective Learner has many advantages such as progressively improving, making better use of our study time or learning to be honest with ourselves and recognize our failures and our successes.

    I think that knowing how to be a good reflective learner can help you to be more productive and can make you realise which things you can improve in your studying methods.

    Do you feel motivated to work on being a better Reflective Learner?

    CONCLUSIONS

    Strong points:

    1. The LTT activities before, during and after the mobility helped to develop teachers and students’ key competences: Communication in mother tongue, Communication in foreign language, Digital competence,  Learning to learn, Social and civic competence, Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, Cultural awareness and expression, Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology) and XXI century skills (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, information literacy, communication skills, media literacy, global awareness, social responsibility, thinking skills, perseverance)

    2. 71% of students realized the importance of Reflective Learning and learned how to be a Reflective Learner. 93% found it useful for learning and life.

    3. Reflective Learning has been promoted in all the partner schools and local communities thanks to the distribution of PLTS posters with simple and practical tips and the use of Learnish - language supporting learning by participating students and teachers.

    4. The LTTA motivated most of our students to learn better, stay positive despite the challenges and learn from mistakes.

    Weak points:

    1. In the area of Reflective Learning we can see that our students need more support in setting their goals, making the right ethical choices and stopping and reflecting on their progress, revising. 

    2. Most students felt welcomed and found the atmosphere friendly. Still, one student didn’t, so next time we need to make sure that all the students receive as much care and attention as they need.
