The hypothesiswas that asking students more questions would cause the students to reflect on the task at hand,which would in turn increase learning. This study was motivated by work on experientiallearning, particularly Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle, which suggests that

Onesuch method is the integration of reflective exercises within engineering course work.This paper traces the adoption of critical reflection as a core pedagogical strategy in anengineering management program focused on sustainable international development within oneUK university. Critical reflection, which stems from a critical scholarly tradition, asks us toquestion our assumptions, recognize the role that power plays in shaping our social reality, anduse reason to advance our emancipatory thinking and
