Reflective observation starts with the brain associating a new event with a previous one, then reexamining the past event while referencing the new one. When new events aren't easily associated with existing patterns, this affords the brain the opportunity to make new connections and meaning. Journaling is one way to promote reflection on course content, class assignments, interactions with fellow learners, and documenting personal growth.
Reflective observation might happen at a distance through discussion groups. The instructor gives the group a question to answer and members respond to others' thoughts and comments which helps with learners' reflection, comprehension and understanding.
