Abstract

Learner reflection is critical to effective, deep, transferable learning, especially in cognitively demanding areas, such as learning programming. This paper presents Reflect, a programming education system, which aims to facilitate student self-assessment and promote learner reflection through scrutable learner models. Reflect sets tasks and presents a set of example answers to read and assess. We report students' use of the system over one semester. Overall Reflect appears to help students understand the teacher's goals for the tasks set and to refine their own work in relation to these goals.
