Reflective journals have proven to be an extremely successful learning and self-improvement tool well more than a century. Used by top universities around the world, this tool is backed by a ton of research about the benefits they provide.

Specifically, in the field of education, reflective journals provide:

• Faster and more focused learning
• improved self-esteem through objective self-assessment
• Improved critical thinking
• Improved creative and reflective thinking
• Less fear of expressing opinions freely in other contexts
• Improved comprehension of the material and understanding of new topics
• Better management of stress and anxiety

It was then only a matter of time till we integrated this technique into our Educational Program. And here it is - Path Journals. You can read all about them in the linked wiki entry.
