Reflective Learning.
Reflective learning is
the way and the
method by which
the individual makes
the analysis on the
learning experience
which they have
taken while studying
in University.
Reflection is also a
kind of skill which
needs to be
developed by the
individual so that
they can know about
the things which are
lacking in them(Cho,
2021). The main
basis of doing the
reflection practice is
because they want
to make review of
the things which are
either weak in them
and the things which
requires further
I have also done the
reflection on the things
which are the most
weakest points in me
and which needs
improvement in myself.
It is because reflective
learning is helpful to
identify the things in
which the student is
lacking so that they can
know about the factors
and the skills which is
the most important for
the further
development and
growth. Thus, for
making the
improvement I always
write down the points
which has to be learned
by me and which will be
helpful to me in
improving and growing
my performance. My
engagement in the class
Reflective
learning will be
helpful to me as
it provides me
the way and the
direction in
which I have to
move and the
steps which I
have to take in
growing and
achieving
success. This act
will be relevant
as it will provide
me the feedback
as to what
changes are
required to be
made by me and
what are the
things I have to
work on.

will also be uplifted
when I will be providing
the continuous and
regular feedback to the
teachers about the
lessons which are going
on in the class.
Use of Formative
feedback
The formative
feedback is the
evaluation which is
provided to students
during the time of
course which they
are taking(Payne
and et. al., 2021).
Thus, it is helpful for
the students and for
the teachers as the
students will make
the learning
according to the
feedback which will
provided to them
and the teacher will
make the learning
sop that student can
learn in a perfect
way.
It will be helpful in
many ways the
development of
confidence is the most
important thing which
needs to learned by the
student. But this can be
done only when the
student will be provided
with the reviews which
includes the changes
which they have to
make in the learning.
The main confidence
which the student
develops is that of the
thing which is provided
to them so that their
summative assessments
can be improved by
focusing on the things
which is lacking in them.
It will be
implemented by
focusing on the
things which
have been
spoken by the
teacher in the
class so that I
would be able to
make the
changes and
correct the
things which I
was doing wrong
from many time.
The formative
feedback is the
evaluation of the
learning which I
have made and
with the
feedback I will
learn many new
things.
Explain Skills to
successfully learn in
the University.

for the student to
learn the skills in the
University because
this helps in the

of the student. If the

Benefits of
Formative
assessment to
students
Formative
assessment is the
evaluation which is
done in order to let
the student know
about the things in
which they need
further
improvements. This
is helpful for the
student to make the
improvements as
this will be used in
the summative
assessment which is
done after the
course has been
done. This is helpful
in order to check
that what will be the
changes has to be
made in order to
improve the
summative
assessments.
This is very important
for the students as the
formative feedback is
given at the time of
doing any course. The
improvements in the
academics can be made
only when the student
are being told regarding
the changes which they
have to make to
increase their
grades(Melander and
et. al., 2018). It is
because students also
wants to review their
performance and when
they will be getting the
right reviews then it is
obvious that there will
be increase in their
grades.
Students will be
motivated when
they will be
knowing about
the things which
they need to
develop. With
the work and
skills which the
students needs
to develop they
will start working
hard on those
weak areas only
and when the
students will be
working on the
weak areas they
will be
developing those
things which
might be new for
them. Thus, this
will increase the
confidence and
also the
motivation to the
students.

Strength Analysis to
learning
SWOT Analysis
Strength. Weaknesses. Opportunity Threats
There are various
factors and skills
which I consider are
strong in me and
which I consider are
also useful for the
growth and
achieving success in
the career. When I
will be having some
strong points in me
so with that only I
can be confident in
the things which I
will be doing.
There are weaker
points in every
individual which
includes the
deficiency of some
skills. Students have
to work hard in
developing the skill
which I am also
learning which are
important in
learning and
identifying the best
direction which will
be best for my
career(Craig, and
Johnson, 2018). It is
important for me to
identify the points
which needs more
learning and
practice.
There are many
opportunities which I
will be getting in
achieving the goals but
this can be done only
after learning of things.
But the main important
thing is that I have to
identify the
opportunities which will
work for me and which
can provide me the
right direction in order
to achieve what I want.
There are many
threats which
will be present
while achieving
the goals which is
important to be
identified. This
will be important
from my side
also as with this I
would be
knowing about
the things which
can act as threat
to me and which
will require the
rectification.
