Stop for a moment. Think about what you’ve learned about learning.
Thinking back on your learning helps to deepen your learning. Reflecting requires us to pause. This space gives us time to recall details, connect details to our work needs, and create stronger neural pathways.
Learning doesn’t happen through listening. It doesn’t happen through just doing something . Learning happens through thoughtful reflection and retrieval.
Reflection involves:
- Retrieval (recalling what you’ve recently stored)
- Connecting new knowledge to existing, and
- Generating (rephrasing key concepts).
