Thinking about the big picture, what effects do you want to achieve by applying this principle to your project?

Research practices are made effective and robust when they are informed by reflective learning.

What processes will you need to incorporate to reach your outcome? How will each contribute to – and demonstrate progress towards – your outcome?

Will you follow or devise a reflection framework? Will partners and beneficiaries be involved in the reflection process? Can your learnings benefit research culture more broadly?

What day-to-day activities will get you to your outputs? How will you ensure they are equitable and responsible in practice?

When will you hold reflection meetings? Where will you record learnings? How will you incorporate lessons learned into the project timeline?

Who, what, where, when?

Will you need equipment for a reflective journal or a video blog? Will partners need support? Will you attend conferences and events to share learnings?
