Resumen
Knowledge has to be developed firmly based on reflections and thoughts as much as evidence. Being
conscious of this principle, our innovation teaching group from the University of Alcalá has developed
a reflective pedagogical approach called Guided Weekly Reflection Papers (GWRP) and implemented
it since 2007. In this approach students hand in to the lecturer their “weekly work”, in which they
schematically express the most important ideas related with the topic presented during the classes,
and their reflections and comments on those aspects which they found especially difficult or
interesting. Moreover students have to apply the concepts developed during the week to solve some
questions or problems proposed by the lecturers to find solutions to real life situations and to explore
beyond the walls of the classroom to discover where in the world around them they can find
application of the material presented by the lectures.This innovative pedagogical approach has deeply contributed to the development of the student
learning process and consequently been reflected in our teaching practice. The outcomes of the
GWRP activity do not depend upon how much students have been studying but upon the level of
comprehension of the knowledge we have shared with them. Therefore this strategy is very useful to
prove the efficiency and quality of our teaching practice which leads us to continuously improve our
way of teaching. Over several years, we have shown our results both in internal meetings in our
University and in International Conferences, our colleagues have been caught up by our enthusiasm,
which promotes their involvement in our model. Thus, different academics and organizations have
adopted our reflective pedagogic strategy. The most recent incorporation of this approach has been
implemented by selected academic staff at De Montfort University (DMU), Leicester (United Kingdom).
This versatile methodology is being tested in a new university educational environment using a
student cohort with a different set of characteristics and academic context compared to previous
cohorts. This communication will describe the adaptation of the GWRP to teaching in the Clinical Biochemistry
module delivered as part of two different Bachelor degrees taught at DMU: Biomedical Science and
Medical Science and the response of students enrolled in this programmes at DMU. The results of the
GWRP implemented in new subjects by the teachers of the innovation group at the University of
Alcalá (UAH) will be also analysed.
