Well of Knowledge Reflection Model
This model encourages a deeper understanding of learnings by figuratively diving into different layers of a 'Well of Knowledge'. It helps participants explore their experiences on multiple levels to extract valuable insights.
Use this model to optimize learning journeys, facilitate deeper reflection, and promote a more comprehensive understanding of experiences.
Solves: Superficial learning, lack of actionable insights, difficulty connecting experiences to broader knowledge.
- 1
Step 1: (5 min) Introduce the 'Well of Knowledge' model and explain the different layers (e.g., surface level, deeper understanding, core beliefs).
- 2
Step 2: (15 min) Participants individually reflect on their experiences, considering each layer of the 'Well'.
- 3
Step 3: (20 min) Participants share their reflections with a partner or small group, focusing on the insights gained from each layer.
- 4
Step 4: (10 min) Facilitate a whole-group discussion to synthesize key learnings and identify actionable steps.
- Provide prompts to guide reflection at each layer of the 'Well'.
- Encourage participants to be open and honest in their sharing.
- Adapt the layers of the 'Well' to fit the specific context of the learning experience.
- Use different colored markers or digital tools to represent different layers of the 'Well'.
