Innovations in learning with conscious thinking result in conceptual and effective
learning. New strategies and techniques of learning aim at bringing about change in
behavior that might help in solving problems of the individual at local and global
level. This paper inquires into benefits of Reflective Practice in Open and Distance
Learning in Pakistan. A questionnaire was administered among 40 students doing
masters in Education, autumn 2009, at Allama Iqbal Open University Islamabad.
Collected data were analyzed by calculating percentage and Mean scores of each
item. An interview was conducted to validate the quantitative data. Findings showed
that Reflective Practice helped learner in solving their learning problems and learners
were able to cope with problems with their conscious effort. The respondents were
agreed that consultation with friends and discussion with senior colleagues benefited
them in solving problems involved in their learning. The respondents acceded that
counseling for selection of subjects and institution, their past experiences and selfreports
were useful in teaching-learning process and solving their learning problems.
The respondents were of the opinion that reflective practice helps in solving learning
problems and in bringing improvement in their behavior.
The findings also indicated that lack of counseling, time and resources caused
problems in becoming reflective and committed person. Keeping the findings in view,
it is recommended that reflective practice might be promoted among students with
the help of counselors, teachers, senior students, books and journals. Extensive
counseling be provided to students at postgraduate level and curricula should be
made innovative
