Participant Reflection Prompts for Phases 1,2 & 3

Think about the stage. As you think you may be able to organise your
reflections into different categories:
What did we do? We signed our team contract, determined our sub-category
research areas and we shared them among ourselves. Lastly, we decided to our
group name which is Group BBCG.
How did we do it? Why did we do it this way? We decided to our assignments as a
group because we wanted to do whatever we want.
What knowledge have I learned or developed? Weve learned making blog and
worked individually.
What skills and attitudes have I learned or developed? Weve learned cooperating
with each other, analyzing some resources and working individually. Weve
developed individual work discipline.
How can I apply my development during this phase to other learning situations?
In the future, we can use these abilities that weve developed for analyzing
something more carefully. It can makes us more successful.
How can I apply my development during this phase to other life situations? We
can apply our developments in order to be more successful in our academic
careers and future jobs.

Here are some questions to help prompt your reflection. Answer the
questions that you think are relevant to your experience. You are
welcome to add other reflections using the categories suggested
above.
What part(s) of this phase most surprised you? We were surprised that taking
notes about our speech is so significant. If we dont take notes, we will forget
them.
Which part(s) of the phase was the most fulfilling? What part was the least
fulfilling? What does this suggest about the way you work and learn? Doing an
interview is the most satisfactory thing. However, making a blog is the least
satisfactory thing because its boring and it takes too much time. Weve learned
that, the more we work planned, the more successful we will be.
Consider your experiences during the phase. How did you feel about the
experiences during the phase? How do you feel now? Describe any similarities or
differences. First of all, we thought that we cant succeed in PBL but we realized
that if we cooperate with each other, we will complete and be successful in PBL.
What skills, knowledge and attitudes do you think you developed through this
phase? What does your performance in this phase suggest to you about your

What does your performance in this stage suggest to you about your
opportunities for development? We are able to work as a group.
What did you learn from the phase about how you react? (Working in a team,
meeting deadlines, team responsibility, team creativity...) Weve learned that,
hard working and being organized are necessary for succeed in PBL.
Were any of the experiences of this phase familiar to you? Doing a research is
more familiar to us.
Now that you have reflected on the phase what might you do differently in the
future? Nothing will be different about what we do now.
What would you like to be able to do better? How could you improve in the
future? We have to work harder if we want to improve our project.
