Lesson 5: Reflection

You've made it to the final lesson in building your learning power. It is now time to look back at what you have done, how you have learned and how you have collaborated with others. Being reflective means thinking about what you have achieved, being pleased with what you have done and thinking about what you will do in the future. It allows you to think about what hasn't gone as well as you expected and how you can improve this for next time.

You should now have a good understanding of how Responsibility, Resourcefulness, Reciprocity, Resilience and Reflection are qualities you need to be a successful learner.

Please leave a comment that answers the follwing questions:


1) What did you enjoy about the last five lessons?

2) What did you find difficult about the last five lessons?

2) How will the five Rs of building learning power help you in your learning in the future?

Thanks for blogging. We hope you enjoyed building your learning power.
