Academic Journaling

Academic Journaling – the widespread practice of recording impressions, reflections, insights, and other thoughts at the end of a class session. Proponents tend to confidently assert the activity supports learning, but the evidence falls far short of the claims. (Journaling activities that are specifically addressed to and routinely reviewed by the teacher seem to be somewhat effective – but such activity is clearly more about influencing teaching than consolidating learning.)
