Reflection essay 主要分为两种，一种是对事件经历的反思，一种是对学习内容的反思，今天我们就来说下这两种反思类型和写作要求有哪些。

对以往经验的反思 (Experiential Reflective Essay):

在一些热门的专业里，像商科，护理和教育，反思报告是连接理论和实践的重要部分。当你被要求反思以往的经历时，不要仅仅只是描述它，而是要结合课程的idea或理论，深入的讨论评估它。你可以基于课程的理论和方法，用专业的技能去评估一个现象，从而提升自己的知识和技能。反思报告是给你一个机会去思考，反思你的选择和行动。一般，你的反思写作需要包含以下问题：

Description – What happened?

Analysis – Why did it happen? What were you feeling? What theories might help explain what happened? Are there other perspectives that challenge your views?

Outcomes or Action – What did you learn? What would you do differently next time?

阅读后的反思 (reading Reflective Essay):

很多课程会要求同学们写阅读反思(比如reflecting on an educational theory you’ve read about within a unit)，一方面的为了平衡评分机制，也是为了鼓励同学们在阅读后多进行思考。通常情况下，导师会提示同学们，什么是他们需要反思的。反思的目的是为了让同学们构建并发表自己的观点。一般，你的反思写作需要包含以下问题：

Description – What is the concept,idea or theory you are reflecting on?

Analysis – Are there aspects you found particularly interesting or challenging? Does it tie in with anything you have learned in the past? Has it changed the way you think,or affirmed something you already knew?

Outcomes or Action – What else might you need to find out? Do you have any questions? How might you incorporate or apply these ideas in the future,perhaps in your professional life?
