To ensure validity, the attributes measured were derived from extensive literature on refl ective thinking, particularly the writing of Mezirow. A combination of literature review and initial testing led to the development of a four-scale system measuring four aspects; habitual action, understanding, refl ection and critical refl ection. The polish version of the technique was tested with a sample of 49 students from a social pedagogic faculty. The reliability of the scale was established by acceptable Cronbach alpha values.plrefl ectionrefl ective practicecritical refl ectionrefl ection questionnairehigher educationcognitive development
