Educationists and writing practitioners consider reection to be a dening feature of student portfolios (Fink 2003; Zubizarreta 2004; Jones and Shelton 2006). A writing portfolio without reection is merely a collection of written work which does not contribute to ‘real’ learning. Reection in the portfolio approach happens when students examine their work against established criteria, analyse the effectiveness of their efforts and plan for improvement. According to Fink (2003), reective writing ‘focuses on the writer’s learning experience itself and attempts to identify the signicance and meaning of a given learning experience, primarily for the writer’. This paper will examine the self-reection of student writers in an undergraduate writing course offered to Science students at Nanyang Technological University. An attempt will be made to identify and illustrate the communicative competencies learnt by these students through the process of selfre ection as well as suggest tools to prompt these reections. It is hoped that this study will unearth what lies beneath the written product and highlight those forces which make writing practice more informed, both for the student as well as the teacher.
