ABSTRACT

Reviewing is simply learning from experience, or enabling others to do so, by revisiting the event and by working through the way in which it was tackled and the outcome that was achieved. Learning is most effective when we take time to think through the process and impact of your experiences and attempt to make sense of your thoughts, feelings and reactions; alternatively, we can support others to undergo that process. At the very least, a good review will have stimulated reflective processes that might otherwise have been brushed aside by the next activity. Reviewing a learning process is important and needs to be as carefully planned as the learning activity itself. Holistic learning is about personal development, social development, team development, leadership development and decision-making, as well as social education, life skills, basic skills, lifelong learning and curriculum education.
