Example: Engage in discussions, study groups, or online communities where you can share your thoughts and ideas related to the subject matter.

SELF-EVALUATING

It involves learners reflecting on their learning process, assessing their strengths and weaknesses, and making adjustments to improve their learning outcomes.

Example: Identify your strengths and weaknesses in relation to the learning task.

REFLECTING

It involves learners actively thinking about and processing information, experiences, and emotions to enhance learning and personal growth.

Example: Ask yourself meaningful questions that encourage introspection and critical thinking.

BRAINSTORMING

Encourages generating ideas and solutions in a group or individual setting.
