Students' Perceptions of Reflective Writing

Students' perceptions on reflective writing and their perceived improvement over a five-week course form the basis of this presentation. Reflective writing is an integral part of the course aimed at developing students’ seminar skills. The reflections are student-led dialogues with their tutor that facilitate self-improvement and offer individualised guidance. At the end of the five-week course, students were asked to complete a questionnaire on their perceptions of reflective writing, how these changed over the course, and their perceived progress on the course. This presentation will also provide an overview of how reflective writing was integral and students’ perceptions on reflective writing and its usefulness in preparing for academic discussions
