The Importance of Reflection

As we look back on 15 weeks of this course, I hope we remember that nearly all our early Experiential Education Champions (from the week 2 reading) identified Critical Reflection as a key element to Outdoor Education and broader Experiential Education. 

Reflection (also referred to as Debriefing) helps us create connections between seemingly disconnected experiences and across gaps in time. By purposely pausing, during/after an experience, we can reorient our current thoughts, knowledge and emotions to the beginning of the experience, to another situation in our lives, and/or toward the future. 

We can reflect on any element of the experience and gain some new understanding(s) that we can apply to future experiences.

Please answer three guided reflection questions, and two questions that you create for yourself. 

*Reflections do not have to relate directly to subject material. Review your work from the entire course, and any reading that were meaningful to you and draw any conclusions that are readily available on a personal level. 

1. How did your understanding of Outdoor Education change from the first week of this course? How did your concept/perception of the Back Country change? (review your introduction from Week 1 if you need a reminder)

2. Reflecting on your academic career, would you like to see more Outdoor Education strategies practiced; in the elementary setting, in the secondary setting, in the collegiate setting? In what ways could Outdoor Educational practices be implemented at these levels? What might be the effects (positive or negative)?

3. Now What? How can you apply something that you learned to any of the following spheres-

1. Your social life

1. Family

2. Friends

2. Your Academic self

3. Your professional environment

4. Personally/Internally

4 and 5. Create two additional Reflection Questions and answer them.

First, identify a firm that would like consumers to change the attitudes of its consumers. Think about different attitude change strategies discussed in the book, then discuss strategies that could be used in an advertising or promotional campaign to bring about this change.

You should consider cost effectiveness and feasibility in your evaluation. For example, it is very difficult to change currently held beliefs. Therefore, if you suggest trying to do this, you must specify how and how realistic you expect this effort to be. Note that if you suggest heavy repetition of an advertising campaign, the firm or organization in question should have the resources to be able to afford this.

Path-goal theory focuses on the ability of leaders to motivate followers to achieve success. The theory built upon the foundation of expectancy theory that states followers will be motivated when they are confident that they can be successful in achieving the goal. However, there have been many instances related to social movements as far back as the 1700s when followers have been motivated against many odds and barriers with a low likelihood of success. When you look at social movements like the Abolition Movement, Women’s Rights Movement, Labor Movements, Civil Rights Movement, and even Occupy Wall Street, followers were highly motivated, and the likelihood of success was not evident.

  • Do you think these social movements contradict the path-goal theory? Justify your  answer. 
  • Formulate your own theory as to how these movements are able to motivate so many followers. Support your theory with scholarly research. 
  • Why do you think so many of these movements are called “leaderless” movements? 

If you have little knowledge of our experience with social movements, please read the Unit Four Learning Material article by Nepstad & Bob, “When Do Leaders Matter? Hypotheses on Leadership Dynamics in Social Movements,” Mobilization, 2006
