WEEK 10 – Reflections on the ICT Learning Process

 The 21st century is a knowledge revolution. It is the
era where information and digitalization prosper.
The use of IT has impacted all domains of society.
 As a student, you must realize that learning ICT is a
responsibility. Students must also observe the ethical
and legal standards using ICT.
REFLECTIVE THINKING IN TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN SOCIETY
KOLB’S MODEL OF REFLECTING THAT CAN BE INTEGRATED IN
ICT
 Concrete Experiment – This is the stage where one
has conscious and physical experience that triggers
him or her to reflect systematically for him/her to be
better.
o Example: An award winning filmmaker
trying to share his knowledge by
conducting a symposium to aspiring
directors.
 Reflecting Observation – This is the stage where
deeper reflection is done. This means asking oneself
questions, such as: What went wrong? Why did that
situation happen? How did I or others react? Why
did I behave that way? Why did other people
behave that way?
o Example: A basketball player trying to
figure out why he failed as a MVP. He tries
to dig where he did not well.
 Abstract Conceptualization – Thus is the stage to
resolve some issues encountered in the reflective
observation. This stage does not encourage one to
be alone, but instead allows him/her to interact and
consult his/her trusted ones. questions to ponder
include: How could I have acted better or
differently? What improvements should I do?
o Example: A class mayor giving feedbacks to
his classmates tries to look at the situation
as a regular student by identifying the
positive and negative things he
encountered so far.
 Active Experimentation – This is the stage where the
new learning and realization on the process of
reflecting are being put into practice. The solutions
are tried and the knowledge gained is practiced.
Eventually, this stage will become the new concrete
experience
o Example: Students of Empowerment
technologies submitted an advocacy
project but they want to push through with
those activities to combat the problems we
are currently facing.
