Abstract

Self-reflection skills are highly significant for students to enhance both their personal development and academics pursuits. The need for creative education and innovation highlights in recent decades where teachers change the way of teaching towards more creative methods and use new different technology applications to produce more knowledgeable students. However, self-reflection skills are at risk when implementing various types of educational software during teaching and learning process. To determine the effect of educational software use to self-reflection skills of high school students, this descriptive-correlational study was conducted among 105 high school students. The result of the study revealed that educational software is highly used by high school students and their self-reflection skills with its dimensions such as feedback, process, and product are also in high level. Furthermore, educational software uses significantly influence the self-reflection skills with its dimensions. This study concluded that educational software use is an effective tool for students to improve and enhance their self-reflection skills. Implementing the use of educational software is recommended to improve self-reflection skills of high school students. Further study may explore on the association of educational software use on self-reflection skills of elementary and college students and include sex and year level as moderating variables.
