Reflection

http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/lesson_images/lesson973/weeklyprogress.pdf http://www.peterpappas.com/2010/01/reflective-student-taxonomy-reflection-.html **2. The Reflective Student** Each level of reflection is structured to parallel Bloom's taxonomy. **[|(See installment 1 for more on the model).]** Assume that a student looked back on a project or assignment they had completed. What sample questions might they ask themselves as they move from lower to higher order reflection? (Note: I'm not suggesting that all questions are asked after every project - feel free to pick a few that work for you.)

taxonomy of reflection

 * Bloom's Remembering**: What did I do?


 * Student Reflection:** What was the assignment? When was it due? Did I get it turned in on time?
 * Bloom's Understanding:** What was important about what I did? Did I meet my goals?


 * Student Reflection:** Do I understand the parts of the assignment and how they connect? Did my response completely cover all parts of the assignment? Do I see where this fits in with what we are studying?
 * Bloom's Application:** When did I do this before? Where could I use this again?


 * Student Reflection:** How was this assignment similar to other assignments? (in this course or others). Do I see connections in either content, product or process? Are there ways to adapt it to other assignments? Where could I use this (content, product or process) my life?
 * Bloom's Analysis:** Do I see any patterns or relationships in what I did?


 * Student Reflection:** Were the strategies, skills and procedures I used effective for this assignment? Do I see any patterns in how I approached my work - such as following an outline, keeping to deadlines? What were the results of the approach I used - was it efficient, or could I have eliminated or reorganized steps?
 * Bloom's Evaluation:** How well did I do? What worked? What do I need to improve?


 * Student Reflection:** What are we learning and is it important? Did I do an effective job of communicating my learning to others? What have I learned about my strengths and my areas in need of improvement? How am I progressing as a learner?
 * Bloom's Creation:** What should I do next? What's my plan / design?


 * Student Reflection:** How can I best use my strengths to improve? What steps should I take or resources should I use to meet my challenges? What suggestions do I have for my teacher or my peers to improve our learning environment? How can I adapt this content or skill to make a difference in my life?
