Relationships Between Reflection Ability and Learning Performance of Junior Electronics Engineering Students*

Modernization affects all areas of a company, including procedures, methods, instruments, and data flows, resulting in frequent and brief changes. New approaches and process improvements are essential in engineering projects. The reflection ability has been shown to improve processes by providing advantages for team performance and team invention as an ongoing interaction between thought and action. This quantitative study investigated the interrelationships between reflection ability and learning performance among 30 junior students enrolled in a microelectronics course using the reflection assessment, project assessment, and achievement test. The findings suggested a positive, moderate, and significant correlation between reflection ability and learning performance, with reflection ability significantly predicting performance. Therefore, reflection ability can be an effective instrument for assessing students’ learning performance abilities throughout a course.
