Abstract
Reflection is a valuable lifelong skill for everyone. From one’s personal life to professional life, education, and beyond, reflection helps in the learning process and assists people to improve upon all areas of life. Reflection is important for learning and self-growth. Reflection helps us to understand what we have done well, why it went well, what can be improved upon and why, as well as provide some insight into how to improve. Faculty can assist learners to develop self-reflection skills through the use of self-reflection activities. In this lively session, the presenters will describe the definition, value, and use of self-reflection. Specifically, the presenters will describe how they have implemented discussion self-grading for online and share successes of this teaching-learning strategy.
