Reflection Toolkit

Reflection literature

This section contains a review of literature on reflection and a list of helpful literature to explore the area further.

The Reflection Toolkit is intended to be used and to be easy to navigate.  Therefore, we have tried to streamline it by removing large theoretical discussions and constant references to literature.  However, these are important so from here you can access information on the historical development of the concept of reflection, the evidence behind whether it actually works, the literature used in developing the Reflection Toolkit and references to other relevant literature and materials.
