In the next section, wediscuss how the framework presented earlier can be useful in thinking about such investigation.Researching and supporting reflectionIn engineering education, there is opportunity to explore questions such as (a) what opportunitiesfor reflection might students already have, (b) what could be done to help students have moreopportunities for reflection, and (c) what could be done to support students in engaging inreflection?
