B-1: Reflection Exercises: Process and Rubric

Reflection is active, persistent and careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of grounds that support it and the further conclusion to which it tends (Dewey, 1933, p.9). Reflection is also a key component of the Ignatian Pedagogy Paradigm (IPP), which outlines a process of learning that embraces Context-Experience-Reflection-Action Evaluation/Transformation. The following rubric is based on the work of Hidding, Scheidenhelm, and Milligan (2014) appearing in the Journal of Jesuit Business Education and draws on the principles of the Ignatian Pedagogy Paradigm (IPP). For each of the reflection exercises we will work through the following steps, although not every assignment will necessarily lead to transformation.
