Consolidation Triangle

The ‘Consolidation Triangle’ is a short, impactful reflective activity that encourages students to consider the content and to set aspirational questions to extend their learning further beyond the session. When embedded as regular practice, students will become more familiar with the practice of reflection which will, in turn, support their metacognitive development. The objective of this activity is to encourage learners to be reflective by asking questions of themselves, their knowledge, and their skillset. By embedding this practice early on in students’ learning at university, it is hoped that students will become autonomous in their reflection.
Description
Tried and tested (used and developed over three academic years or more)
Time duration: 5-10 minutes
Student level: ALL
Preparation time before class: minimal (uploading template to Moodle)
Additional materials or equipment needed: None
Other general tips/advice:
- Some students may find the process of reflection challenging. Rather than giving a blank template, leave the prompt questions on the document to scaffold the activity for students. Those who are more at ease with reflection can disregard the questions if they so wish.
- It can be used as a regular, embedded task that students are expected to complete at the end of each session, building up a picture of their progress through the module content.
