It is a widely accepted fact that reflection is one of the key components of effective learning. Nearly all of us reflect on what happens to us on a daily basis, perhaps mulling over the day’s events on our journey home from work; thinking ‘out loud’ to our family and friends or coming up with bright ideas in the shower. Most of the time, these reflections are strikingly consistent or those bright ideas never come to fruition. The reason for this is that the link between reflection and action is often tenuous because our thoughts are often fleeting or because we are distracted or because it’s easier to put off doing something about them.
