What is reflection?
Reflecting is taking a closer look at ones experiences. We often reflect briefly yet deeper reflecting within an educational setting should be facilitated. Many scholars have addressed the definition of various levels of reflecting. In general, most agree that reflection involves the process of thinking about what, how and why something happened.

Taxonomy
Three Reflective Directions
- Reflection-on-action requires looking back on what one has accomplished and reviewing the actions, thoughts, and product.
- Reflection-in-action. In this activity, the individual is responsible for reflecting while in the act of carrying out the task. If, for example, the student is writing a story and has left out the setting, reflection-in-action could guide the correction of a major component of the story writing.
- Reflection-for-action. This reflection form expects the participant to review what has been accomplished and identify constructive guidelines to follow to succeed in the given task in the future.

Types of Reflection
Types of Reflection
- Micro-reflection: Day-day reflection focused on giving meaning to an experience. Can be quick, short, can be verbal (checks for understanding + asking why), or written through exit slips.
- Macro-reflection: Reflection that informs further action or practice. Often these involve larger products and takes up more time.
