Why is reflection for learning important?

It is important for professionals; and those training to be professionals; to reflect on their learning experiences. Just experiencing an event is not enough, without taking time to review the experience and consider future implications we are likely to repeat our actions in other future situations. This can mean that we are likely to repeat the same mistakes again!
