This study operationalized some concepts related to reflective learning in a technical report-writing course under institutional and curriculum-related constraints. It looked at how two groups of first year computer students at a university in Hong Kong reacted to tasks involving different degrees of reflectivity in this 14-week course. The major tasks designed for both groups were the same, but additional tasks were added to the intervention classrooms to stimulate reflective thinking. The comparison group was taught in a less reflective way. Each group's reactions to different kinds of tasks were elicited in questionnaires and taped discussions. The results arising from the examination of this data show that students found almost all tasks, including the reflective ones, helpful and relevant though the intervention group did not really like the reflective tasks, especially those at the metacognitive level. The reasons for the students' preferences are discussed as well as the implications for the teaching of ESP.
