Learning Journal.

[Audio] The learning journal is a tool used by students to record their thoughts, notes, and experiences throughout a period of study or work. It's a way to reflect on their learning journey, helping them to identify their strengths, areas for improvement, and preferences in learning..

[Audio] When using a learning journal, we are not just recording events, but rather reflecting on our experiences to gain a deeper understanding of what we have learned. By describing key ideas, thoughts, feelings, and reactions, we can create a live picture of our growing understanding of a subject. This helps us demonstrate how our learning is developing and identify our strengths, areas for improvement, and preferences in learning. As a course requirement, the learning journal is an essential tool for reflecting on our learning journey..

[Audio] A learning journal is like a daybook, where you record not only events, but also your thoughts and reflections on what you're learning. It's a way to make sense of the material and connect it to your own values and beliefs. You can choose any method that works best for you - a notebook, an electronic document, or even recording yourself talking about your experiences. Reflective learning is important because it helps you think critically about what you're doing before, during, and after your learning experience. It's a skill that requires you to reflect on how you're personally relating to what's happening in the workshop or in your work..

[Audio] What I think about the issues discussed at the learning event is that they were quite thought-provoking. I found some points challenging to grasp, while others resonated with my existing knowledge..
