Education, 2011 The Effectiveness of Students’ Daily Reflections on Learning in Engineering ContextReflection is a significant cognitive process to enhance students’ learning outcomes and/orperformance. Studies have shown the value of learners reflecting on what they have done,processed or engaged in so far. 1-8 The use of questions, prompts, or use of reflection as a form offeedback have been used to advance reflective processes in domains such as nursing education,teacher education, and science education. 9-11 However, relatively few of the above mentionedstudies investigated the importance of reflecting on confusing points instead of reflecting onwhat is understood, and none of the studies were conducted in
