Making informed decisions among potential reflection activities can be challenging for engineering educators. Information about the knowledge gains resulting from different reflection activities would be valuable for engineering educators seeking to make informed choices. In the first part of the work described here, we describe a conceptual framework that summarizes types of knowledge gains resulting from engagement in reflection activities. In the second part of the work, we report on data from students who engaged in reflection activities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
