Abstract
With an emphasis on junior cycle students' academic achievement, personal development, and general involvement in the learning process, this thesis investigates the effects of reflective practices and critical evaluation on these learners. Through reflective practices, students routinely reflect on their own methods and learning experiences, which deepens their grasp of the subject matter and increases their self-awareness. By encouraging students to evaluate their work and comments critically, critical assessment helps them recognise their strengths and places for growth. The results imply that pupils lack a conceptual knowledge of reflective behaviours and critical evaluation. In the Junior Cycle classroom, students might be using reflective practices and critical evaluation, but they may not be aware of it.
