Critical Reflection as a Learned/Learning Activity – Winter 2024 (IN PERSON)
Students engaged in experiential education activities often benefit from opportunities for critical reflection. These reflection activities can encourage students to make meaningful connections between experiences and course material, while also developing skills in critical thinking, communicating new insights, and using new ideas to inform future actions.
In this workshop, we will engage in discussions and hands-on activities designed to explore frameworks for critical reflection that can be used to help students develop important skills to support their own reflective practice. Activities for encouraging critical reflection will also be explored as strategies to encourage meaningful learning in the classroom.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Identify key elements of reflective pedagogy, including considerations for inclusive, accessible teaching and learning reflection activities
- Assess frameworks for critical reflection for scaffolding reflective activities
- Discuss strategies for facilitating opportunities for critical reflection in their courses
This session will take place on Wednesday, March 27 from 9-10:30am on campus (Keele) in room DB 1012 – Victor Phillip Dahdaleh (formerly TEL) Building.
This workshop is one of two upcoming in person experiential education (EE) workshops. Learn more about our other session, Strategies for Meaningful Feedback on Student Reflection.
