Reflection to Uncover Knowledge: Opening Students to Open our Curriculum, Erin Workman (LAS), Hannah Lee (Center for Teaching and Learning) We often think of student learning in terms of outcomes without attending much to incomes—that is, the prior learning that students bring to the classroom, including experiences, practices, and knowledge, all of which are shaped by their “social roles such as those connected with race, class, gender, and their culture and ethnic affiliations” (National Research Council, 2000, p. 72). Students’ prior learning has a significant effect on their learning in our classrooms, as indicated by extensive empirical research on learning transfer from educational psychology (e.g., Perkins & Salomon 1992; Perkins & Salomon, 1992; National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, & Medicine, 2018) and on writing transfer from writing studies (e.g., Reiff & Bawarshi, 2011; Anson & Moore, 2016; Yancey, 2017). Using reflective activities in the classroom provides opportunities for individual students to identify and articulate their prior and ongoing learning for both themselves and instructors. Read collectively, students’ reflective work can inform the ways in which instructors engage all students, helping us to see what students bring to the classroom and whether, and how, they’re integrating new knowledge into their existing knowledge. In the same way learning incomes affect learning outcomes, attention to incomes-oriented activities—such as reflection—makes assessment more profound in its reach during an assessment cycle, rather than just at the end of a term. Our presentation will outline the variety of reflective activities we use in our teaching, starting with a beginning-of-quarter survey to elicit student incomes, as well as ongoing activities, such as various types of written reflection, multimodal reflection, and visual mapping. We’ll then engage participants in considering how they might adapt these reflective activities for their own contexts. By the end of the session, participants will have a variety of resources for understanding, adapting and designing reflective activities to facilitate student learning.
