Abstract

In social constructivist approaches to learning reflection is considered as a critical component of this process. There are many reasons why disposition to reflect cannot be considered as a natural state, especially in the work settings. Overcoming reflection barriers is important as reflective behaviour is an essential factor of organizational learning. It is also difficult, and therefore needs education and facilitation. As highly effective reflective learning facilitators are considered techniques that assume social interactions and dialogue, e.g simulation games, behavioural simulations, storytelling techniques. Specific features of these facilitators may imply difference in their effectiveness in concrete didactic or developmental contexts. The main aims of this paper are to demonstrate the importance of reflection as a crucial element of individual and organizational learning and to compare some of the most effectual techniques that can serve as facilitators of this process. The comparison is made according to the kind of experience that given technique provides, reflection triggers, and reflection forms.
