Reflective journal writing is one of the vehicles for reflective practice. It has a long history as an assessment in learning and teaching in higher education, particularly for those students for whom being reflective has been seen as a deep-seated orientation to their lives. In practice, however, this process can only take place if there is incentive for the students to reflect. Rather than focusing on what students might reflect on, we as a teachers and researchers, should also take a step back to rethink why the reflective practice works. In this seminar, I will review the implementation of reflective journal writing in a Mongolian study tour just completed last June, and rethink what implication this reflective practice might bring to our teaching and academic work.
