摘要

This chapter positions reflection as the connective practice that binds data collection, analysis, and change in self-study research. Drawing on philosophical and pedagogical traditions, it examines how reflection enables deeper learning and action. Readers are introduced to personal, dialogic, and public forms of reflection, along with practical strategies—such as journaling, structured dialogue, and reflective protocols—that make reflection systematic and intentional. The chapter acknowledges the emotional and ethical challenges of sustained reflection while emphasizing its transformative potential. Readers leave with a nuanced understanding of reflection as both a methodological tool and a moral commitment in self-study.
