Reflection-for-action (Killion and Todnem, 1991) is a good fit with peer learning which is typically action-oriented. ÃÂ This case study considers the extent to which a PAL leaderÃ¢â¬â¢s professional capability and personal development may be further boosted by keeping a reflective journal. It raises the question whether or not there are tangible benefits to the journal-keeper in terms of their perceptions of their own learning, soft skills and employability. ÃÂ A PAL leader at a UK university who kept a reflective PAL journal found the process enriching and it led to some changes in thought in respect of assumptions about what PAL success could look like.
