Reflective journals

Abstract

A reflective journal, also known as a reflective narrative, is a collection of thoughts, feelings, observations, notes, and other related resources created over a period of time. It typically supplements the study cycle, fieldwork, or a placement experience. The purpose of a reflective journal is to enrich individuals’ learning through the actual process of writing and thinking about their personal experiences. It is a growing document written by the learner to record their learning progress.
