Abstract

Reflective writing is important in higher education that supports students to improve their critical thinking. However, Despite the widespread of using reflective writing in education, there is a lack of literature relating to the important aspects of reflection in computer science (CS) education. This study approached to (a) address theoretically how reflective writing can be in CS (b) investigate theoretically the conceptual reflective writing framework (RWF) indicators in CS. The literature showed that the RWF’s indicators is theoretically sound that the use of specific indicator can be less or more important based on the goal and the context of writing reflectivity. Finally, we consider the implications of refection aspects writing can be customized assessment to students based on the field.
