q1 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?
The review reports that the evidence base for reflection-promoting curricular interventions "remains largely theoretical" and that "it is unclear which approaches may have efficacy or impact". This is the review's own assessment of the state of the field.
"The evidence to support and inform these curricular interventions and innovations remains largely theoretical. Further, the literature is dispersed across several fields, and it is unclear which approaches may have efficacy or impact."
