Meaning
To think deeply about a subject
Cultural Background
In Norwegian schools, 'refleksjonsnotat' is a specific genre of writing where students must link theory to their own experiences. The concept of 'Dannelse' (Bildung) is central, where having a 'good reflection' is seen as a sign of being a cultured, thinking human being. In 'medarbeidersamtaler' (performance reviews), employers value 'refleksjonsevne' (the ability to reflect) as much as technical skills.
