I do agree with trying to get to higher level thinking, and how commenting also requires reflection (see my earlier post on social processing) though usually through application of knowledge to a task and *then* reflection. I just am not a fan of Blooms (literally just off a project creating an alternative, see Brenda Sugrue’s evisceration thereof http://www.performancexpress.org/0212/mainframe0212.html#title3 ).

And while I agree that you can put too much emphasis on doing *or* reflection (you need a balance), Kolb’s been similarly been found to be suspect psychometrically. c.f.

In many parts of the world the process of reflection, in my opinion, has been pushed aside by action or the appearance of relentlessly moving forward. However, in southern Europe where I’m currently based, I sometimes see the opposite effect, where re-evaluation, re-consideration and hypothesising can be taken to the extreme at the expense of trial and error and the evolution of ideas through experimentation.
Kolb reminds us that experimentation goes hand in hand with reflection.

You can create models that you think represent your understanding (e.g. of a system or an outcome). Not quite sure what you mean by ‘displays’.
