Reflective Blogs

Reflective Blogs can be developed as a reflective tool for blogs. Reflection could be argued to be the essential stage where learning is integrated within the whole learner, and added to existing frames of reference, and internalized and personalized.


At the beginning an individual would be provided a guideline for this and a series of questions that could be used as a possible structure for blog entries.

Some use this structure and most develop their own methods. Developing your own ways of reflecting is important as the reflective writing should be done in a way that is very comfortable for each individual, using your own words and style.


However, it is often very hard to reflect and some people find it quite an alien thing to do. Also, after several years of following this current structure, an individual will be aware that it's results will be in a wide range of reflective output. For some the depth of reflection is very deep and the evidence of learning is easily seen, but for others their reflection remains quite shallow.

The ability to critically reflect on experience and to write in a critically reflective manner has been recognized as an important aspects of professional practice.
