Definition of Reflection

Reflection has been defined as “a generic term for those intellectual and affective activities in which individuals engage to explore their experiences in order to lead to a new understanding and appreciation.”

Boud, D., Keogh, R., Walker, D. (1985). Reflection: turning experience into learning. London: Kogan Page.

Definition of Reflection

"Reflection is the process of stepping back from an experience to ponder, carefully and persistently, its meaning to the self through the development of inferences; learning is the creation of meaning from past or current events that serves as a guide for future behaviour."

Daudelin, M. W. 1996. Learning from experience through reflection. Organizational Dynamics 24(3): 36-48.
