Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
English term or phrase: purposeful
Pauses for reflection are made more purposeful if participants are encouraged to use a structured approach. Written learning logs are one way of doing this. Group learning reviews, where participants draw up lists of lessons learned, agreeing on some conclusions and consequential plans, are another way. Of course, Reflectors may like this process more than others. It can be helpful to set up pair reviews with contrasting styles.

Tournez la phrase


Explanation:
Les participants tireront plus de leurs pauses...s'ils sont encouragés...

Il me semble plus façile de conserver le sens en tournant la phrase. "Ils *profiteront* plus" serait une autre possibilité.

Bon courage,

les pauses de réflexion pourront mieux déterminer ce qu'elles visent si les participants sont encouragés à agir avec méthode.

(la traduction de "structured approach" par " avec méthode" risque d' atténuer la prétention de l'auteur à l'originalité- sans rien ajouter ni enlever au sens)
