In my opinion reflection is looking back on an experience. I believe that we use reflection to learn and improve on an experience. If we do this our next experience can be more enjoyable. When we reflect we consider new ideas and criticise our past actions and thoughts. I understand reflection to be a critical process, and is an important part in learning. If we didn’t criticise and reflect on previous experiences we would not give ourselves an opportunity to improve. I like the quote in the video “reflection is the key to taking control of our own learning”. I hope that in future reflective thinking improves my learning and writing skills.
