Learning Journal.

What is a learning journal?. A learning journal is a collection of notes, observations, thoughts and other relevant materials built‐up over a period of time and maybe a result of a period of study, learning and/or working experience. Its purpose is to enhance your learning through the process of writing and thinking about your learning experiences. Your learning journal is personal to you and will reflect your personality, preferences and experiences..

A learning journal helps you to be reflective about your learning, this mean that your journal should not be a purely descriptive account of what you did but an opportunity to communicate your thinking process: how and why you did what you did, and what you know think about what you did..

Structuring your learning journal…. A learning journal is similar to a daybook, log or diary. Instead of just recording events, thoughts or emotions, the learning journal demands conscious reflection and commentary in an effect to make sense of the material you are learning and connect it to your own beliefs, values, ethics and commitments. A journal could be a notebook, an electronic document or sometimes recorded verbally on tape. Choose a method that works best for you! What is reflective learning? Reflective learning works best when you think about what you are doing before, during and after your learning experience. Reflection is an important skill to develop and requires you to think about how you are personally relating to what is happening in the workshop or in your work..

What should you write about?. What you think about issues discussed at the learning event? What you understand so far? What do you find puzzling, difficult or contradictory? What resources have helped you to understand and/or been interesting to use? What new knowledge, skills or understanding have you gained during the process of writing your journal?.
