Abstract

This article outlines suggestions for the use of self-reflective journaling as an assessment method in dance technique classes. The use of self-reflection makes assessment a part of the learning process, not an imposed evaluation of a student's final product, particularly when it is related to personal goal setting. The article provides practical examples of teacher reflection prompts and reviews the quality of self-reflection activities that lead to maximum success. These qualities include that the self-reflection is guided, repeated regularly, sincere and nonjudgmental, and conversational in nature between teacher and student.
