The act of reflection is an essential metacognitive skill that helps learners construct knowledge and engage in their learning. Team-based learning provides several opportunities for unstructured reflection. The implementation of journal entries as a regular guided opportunity for reflection provides an additional focused opportunity for reflection. This allows the instructor to observe changes in thinking and behavior and encourage development of reflective and metacognitive skills.
