Deep and Surface Learning
Deep..Focus is on “what is signified”
Relates previous knowledge to new knowledge
Relates knowledge from different courses
Relates theoretical ideas to everyday experience
Relates and distinguishes evidence and argument
Organizes and structures content into coherent whole
Emphasis is internal, from within the student
Surface..Focus is on the “signs” (or on the
learning as a signifier of something else)
Focus on unrelated parts of the task
Information for assessment is simply memorized
Facts and concepts are associated unreflectively
Principles are not distinguished from examples
Task is treated as an external imposition
Emphasis is external, from demands of assessment
(Ramsden (1988), as cited in Atherton, 2005.)

Journaling
“Reflective journals have been employed by educators to deepen the quality of students learning by: (a) promoting critical thinking;
(b) encouraging a questioning attitude, enabling students to understand their own learning processes (metacognition); and
(c) strengthening active involvement in learning through personal ownership of the learning experience (Boud, 2001; Moon, 1999).
Reflective journaling has been shown to contribute to the exercise of voice(Peterson & Jones, 2001), and the narrative nature of journaling has been shownto contribute to development of a professional identity (Blevins, 2007; Redman, 2005).” Carter, T.J. & Marlowe, E. (2010) http://reflectivelearningwithdigitalmedia.pbworks.com/

Defining Critical Thinking
“Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action.”
(Scriven & Paul, 1987)
