SELECTIVE)

appropriate)

NEW LEARNING
What did I learn that was new to me?
What insights did this new knowledge give
to me?
did it help me see something in a new
light?
did it help me understand something that I
didn’t understand before?
How do I think this might be useful (in my
work practice, in my studies, in my life)?
PERSONAL
REACTION
How did I feel about what was done?
Did it affect me emotionally and if so how?
What did I like or enjoy and why?
What did I dislike and why?
What did I find easy to do or understand
and why?
What did I find difficult or challenging to
do or understand and why?
ACTION TO
BE TAKEN
Is there any action that I will take as a
result of what was done?
Do I need to plug further gaps in my
knowledge?
Do
I want to investigate or research further?
