Abstract

The aim of this document is to reflect on an experience of reflective writing that took place in a blended learning undergraduate course. The experience is presented from the perspective of the teacher and that of the students, and it is read from the teacher's log, the written interaction with students, and the texts produced by the students in their blogs. Thoughts about the meaning that students gave to the reflecting process, the lack of evidence about what occurs in terms of the purpose of the course, and the need for the teacher to coach students in the reflective thinking process (where theory and experience are in dialogue), are taken into account.
