Interactive Reflective Logs: Opening Science Notebooks to Peer and Teacher Feedback

by: Katina Leland, Cynthia Minchew Deaton, and Benjamin E. Deaton

The authors created an interactive reflective log (IRL) to provide teachers with an opportunity to use a journal approach to record, evaluate, and communicate student understanding of science concepts. Unlike a traditional journal, the IRL incorporates prompts to encourage students to discuss their understanding of science content and science processes and to reflect on their science activities.
