摘要：The authors seek to demonstrate how the use of a constructivist teaching approach and tools turned normally pragmatic, minimalist work ethic, first year students into active, enthusiastic learners. Whilst the use of learning journals is not unique, their value as a teaching tool and form of assessment at first year undergraduate level has proven to be surprisingly successful in terms of student engagement and promotion of life-long learning principles. The analysis utilised student writings and showed how they were motivated towards active participation in their own learning. The students' entries in a learning journal, in particular, demonstrated evidence of changes in their thinking and learning behaviour.
