To draw an example Page 26.1618.3from math, students are taught in high school algebra to multiply a pair of binomials, e.g.(a+b)(c+d), using the “FOIL” method – First, Outer, Inner, Last. Most students fail to realize thatthis is a specific application of the distributive property of mathematics, and when faced with asmall variation, e.g. (a+b)(c+d+e), they are lost. In an engineering setting, a student may be veryadept at applying mesh analysis to find the currents in a branched resistive network, but thatsame student will often

Guided reflective thinking can often be used to guide students through self-assessment activities. Guided reflective thinking is a systematic way of thinking about one’sactions and responses such that future actions and responses can be improved12. Dewey13 describesa reflective operation as having two essential elements “(a) a state of perplexity, hesitation, doubt;and (b) an act of search or investigation directed toward bringing to light further facts ….”.
