Individual
Reflection report 1

+/- 30 minutesDuring this activity, students write a reflection report using the Korthagen reflection model. This model helps students, in short, develop alternative approaches for aspects of study behavior. They go through the phases two times: once reflecting upon a positive aspect of the dashboard and once on an aspect they want to improve.

Individual
Reflection report 2

NL
+/- 30 minutesThis activity builds upon the first reflection report by first looking back at the results of reflection report 1. They will then reflect on their dashboard using the Korthagen reflection model again. They can build upon their last reflection aspects in reflection report 1 or they can choose new aspects to reflect upon.  
In pairs
Interview
EN
NL
+/- 40 minutesStudents will reflect upon their dashboard in pairs, and by doing so, provide each other with feedback and insights. The goal is to reflect together, and from there create a specific action. Students interview each other using the provided questions in one of two methods: parallel or sequential. In the sequential method, student 1 answers all of the questions, then student 2 does the same. In the parallel method, both students first answer question 1, then proceed to question 2, etc.

In groups of 4 – 6
peer-to-peer coaching
EN
NL
+/- 40 minutesThe goal of this exercise is to reflect upon a specific situation with a group of students. By reflecting in a group, multiple perspectives can be taken into account, providing a broader insight. Each student prepares an individual case to discuss, based on their Thermos-dashboard visualisation. These cases are then discussed following a peer-to-peer procedure.
