“Learning Sketch”: A Tool for Learning Reflection Activity

Abstract

In this study, we developed a tool, the Learning Sketch, for both students and instructors to reflect and confirm the student’s effort and perceived outcomes during a semester of the story-centered curriculum. Students see what and how they learned through each activity and then unify all compulsory course activities into a series of learning activities provided in a unique curriculum, namely, the story-centered curriculum (SCC). In this paper, we report the results of providing the Learning Sketch for students to use after two semesters: fall and spring. The Learning Sketch enabled students to make learning activities visible, because the tool presents a series of all activities conducted throughout each semester. Our intent that the comments by students in the Learning Sketch are unrestrained and all students expressed their feelings freely was confirmed from the students responses.
