Reflection
Important role in Experimental Pedagogics.
Reflection is the integrative tool that allows students to pursue their learning with purpose and a forward drive. We interpret reflection according to the levels of XP, using learning diaries and workshops to work through those diaries. At the Cognitive Level, students work with the Kolb Cycle to identify opportunities to improve their performance and solve problems in their learning process. At the individual level, students operate a phenomenological reduction on their own learning diaries. At the group level, students draw an empathy map to understand relational aspects of reflection. At the societal level, students are introduced to the sociological imagination of C. Wright Mills.
The reflection method of Experimental Pedagogics was published by Lorenzo Duchi, Ginie Servant-Miklos, Liesbeth Noordegraaf-Eelens and Lois Kooij.
Practical pedagogical tools used in the XP framework
XP uses different experimental pedagogical tools associated with each of the five levels of the framework.
Some of these tools were designed by the XP team, and open access to teaching scaffolds and tools (like the COLLAPSE game set) is provided where possible. Some tools used in the XP framework were designed by other educators, with links to their work provided in the relevant pages.
