REFLECTION FORM

After analyzing the data, the reflection form was a powerful tool to support students in managing their impulsivity, thinking about their thinking, and building a repertoire that helped them think before acting. The reflection form was also a powerful tool to support educators in classroom management. We realized it is essential to have clear criteria for when and why students should answer the reflection form. The data showed us that the main reason students answered the reflection form was that they were disturbing the group. We understand that the reflection form could have given us more data if students were supervised when answering it. Since the beginning of the year, we intend to continue using the reflection form.
