Reflektointiprosessi

Reflektointiprosessi is a Finnish term that translates to "reflection process" in English. It refers to a deliberate and systematic method of thinking about and analyzing past experiences, actions, or events to gain understanding and improve future performance. This process is not merely recalling what happened, but rather critically examining the reasons behind outcomes, the effectiveness of decisions made, and the lessons learned.

The core elements of reflektointiprosessi typically include describing the situation, analyzing one's thoughts and feelings during the experience, identifying what went well and what could have been done differently, and finally, planning how to apply the gained insights to future similar situations. It can be applied in various contexts, such as personal development, education, professional practice, and team collaboration.

In educational settings, reflektointiprosessi is often used to help students deepen their learning by connecting theoretical knowledge with practical application and by fostering self-awareness about their learning styles and challenges. In the workplace, it aids in problem-solving, innovation, and continuous improvement by encouraging teams to review projects and identify areas for growth. The goal of reflektointiprosessi is to transform experience into actionable knowledge, leading to more effective and informed decision-making and a greater capacity for personal and professional growth.
