ABSTRACT

The approach to reviewing and reflection, therefore, should be neither controlling nor limiting. Books about reviewing and reflection tend to focus on the importance of questioning. While asking good questions is a key skill for any leader, when facilitating reflection on experience, there are also many other ways of engaging participants in reflecting. More reflection work in pairs: each person is listened to five times more than the average individual time available in a group of ten people. The new century brought more books about reviewing and reflection into the marketplace. Some synonyms for reflecting or reviewing are: processing, active processing, bridging, teaching for transfer, and debriefing, critiquing and critical thinking. Reviewing helps participants make sense of experience, learn from experience, retain more value, and be better able to apply what is learned to new situations. A reviewing session can broaden participants' perspectives on the topic as they listen to others communicating about the significance of their experiences.
