EE Workshop: Critical Reflection as a Learned/Learning Activity - October 19, 2022
Students engaged in experiential education activities often benefit from opportunities for critical reflection. These reflection activities can encourage students to make meaningful connections between experiences and course material, while also developing skills in critical thinking, communicating new insights, and using new ideas to inform future actions.
In this workshop, we will engage in discussions and hands-on activities designed to explore frameworks for critical reflection that can be used to help students develop important skills to support their own reflective practice. Activities for encouraging critical reflection will also be explored as strategies to encourage meaningful learning in the classroom.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Identify key elements of reflective pedagogy, including considerations for inclusive, accessible teaching and learning reflection activities
- Assess frameworks for critical reflection for scaffolding reflective activities
- Discuss strategies for facilitating opportunities for critical reflection in their courses
Workshop activities will include individual reflection (with the option to record reflections for individual notetaking), small group discussions, and the opportunity to use tools such as LEGO blocks (building blocks) to participate in a reflective activity. If you require any accommodations to assist you in participating in this session, please let us know in the registration form.
Wednesday, October 19, 2022 from 12:30pm-2pm. In-person workshop, in room DB 1014 - Victor Phillip Dahdaleh (formerly TEL) Building.
