Reflecting on reflection: scale extension and a comparison of undergraduate business students in the United States and the United Kingdom
In the Peltier, Hay, and Drago (2005) article entitled āThe Reflective Learning Continuum: Reflecting on Reflection,ā a reflective learning continuum was conceptualized and tested. This is a follow-up article based on three extensions: (1) determine whether the continuum could be expanded, (2) further validating the continuum using additional schools, and (3) determining whether the continuum could also be applied to undergraduate business education. The findings from a study of U.S. and UK students show that the revised scale is valid and reliable and that U.S. students in the sample universities rated their educational experience higher and were more likely to use reflective thinking practices

Carbonate sedimentation through the late Precambrian and Phanerozoic
The global sediment mass-age distribution indicates large variations in the rates
of carbonate sedimentation through time. The largest mass of carbonate deposited during
the entire history of the earth was produced during the Cambrian, possibly following on an
episode of phosphogenesis in the Late Precambrian. A second major episode occurred during the Late Devonian, probably reflecting the invasion of land by plants that altered the
rock-weathering and soil-forming regimes. Other lesser pulses of carbonate deposition occurred
in the Late Permian, Triassic, and Cretaceous. A shift in the locus of carbonate deposition
from shallow waters to the deep sea occurred during the Cretaceous
Understanding and modeling the sedimentary system
The sedimentary system involves
processes that weather rocks and reduce
them to soluble and fine-grained
particulate components that can be
transported. deposited, and transformed
back into rock. !Jost of the processes can
be observed today, but the present is an
unusual episode in our planet's history.
We live in a brief warm interglacial epi sode
in an interval usually characterized
by large mid-and high-latitude icc sheets
and a much lower sea level. To complicate
matters further, few measurements
of process rates were made before the significant
impacts of agriculture and the
industrial revolution altered them. Consequently,
the rates at which different
processes operate over most of geologic
time arc not well known. The objective of
modeling sedimentary systems is to simplify
these processes so that they can be
described in mathematical terms. Successful
models predict the results of weathering.
erosion, transport, depositional
and diagenetic processes and allow us to
determine process rates from ancient deposits.
Modeling can also suggest the
kinds of geologic information that can be
used for its validation
