The art of learning through reflection

I have done a little background research into "what is reflective learning?". What I have found is that in order to take part in the art of learning through reflection, we need to have an experience, a concrete one at that, from this point on you would need to see what your initial responses were to the stimuli. At this point you should also be able to observe the experience to see what is going on around you. Thirdly how you responded overall to the situation and how you dealt with it.. From there on you look back at what you did, you then take this newly learned skill/reaction and use it again and again if you ever find yourself in the same situation, and this right here in this small post is the art of learning through reflection. One of the biggest parts to this is gaining the knowledge in which is your strengths, weaknesses, values and beliefs

" the ability to look at an experience, break it down to find the answers in why you were successful or unsuccessful and to use the experience positively"
