What have you learned about being a "reflective" practitioner? How will
reflection become part of your professional practice? - CORRECT ANSWERS-
One of the articles we read for class, "The Importance in Education", taught
me a lot about reflections. When students fail a math test, they
automatically equate F=Failure and then result in thinking they suck in math.
Students don't ever reflect on why they failed the test. Students have

"Reflection is a key ingredient to move knowledge from short term to long
term memory." Reflection will be a big part of my professional practice. I
believe that reflection is an important factor in learning. After most
assignments I hope to reflect on how I did.
