What is an example of a reflective question in the ORID framework?

• A. What have you learned from this experience?
• B. What feelings came up for you?
• C. Which people, comments, ideas, or words caught your attention, and why?
• D. What was the significance of this experience to your study/work/life?

Answer: (B)

In this framework, reflective questions are the ones that invite you to name your emotional responses and personal reactions to what happened, rather than focusing on facts, details, or meaning. The best example is the one that asks “What feelings came up for you?” because it directly prompts you to express your emotional experience, which is at the heart of reflection.

This helps people connect with the human side of the experience, validating emotions and setting the stage for deeper interpretation and planning. The other options aim at different dimensions: learning or outcomes, noticing and explaining what stood out, or assessing the significance or meaning for study or work. Those fit the interpretive or decisional stages rather than the reflective stage.
