Essentially, the learning journal is a record of the learner’s self-reported and self-reflective experiences in which he/she describes specific learning experiences, activities, responses, and skills acquired. The journal itself is private but forms the basis of the essay. The learning journal should contain a number of entries showing the development of your learning over a period. It is a good idea to complete an entry in the journal after each workshop to capture your thoughts, feelings, and reactions.
