23.4.3.2. Self-Reflection. A second skill in intentional learning is self-reflection. "Self-reflection implies observing and putting an interpretation on one's own actions, for instance, considering one's own intentions and motives as objects of thought" (Von Wright, 1992, p. 61). Von Wright writes that self-reflection involves the abstraction of meaning and is an interpretative process aimed at the understanding of reality. To understand the world in different ways involves modifying our conceptions of the world and our place in the world. It involves thinking about reality in alternative ways.
