Humanities instruction in Taiwanese higher education has long been constrained by exam-oriented practices and instrumental rationality, with college-level Chinese courses emphasizing knowledge transmission and standardized responses. Such approaches limit students’ capacities for textual interpretation, critical thinking, and self-reflection. Although reflective writing is recognized for promoting deep learning, its systematic application in classical Chinese literature courses remains underexplored. This study examines the integration of the 3W reflective writing framework (What, So What, Now What) into a freshman-level course, Selected Readings from the Book of Songs. Adopting a qualitative-dominant mixed-methods design, data were collected from reflective worksheets, journals, and anonymous questionnaires, supplemented by pre-post testing using a reflective disposition scale. Findings indicate that students developed multi-perspectival interpretations and personalized meaning-making. Over 80% demonstrated above-average reflective performance, and statistically significant gains were observed in reflective disposition (p < .001). These results support the effectiveness of reflective writing in enhancing critical thinking, self-understanding, and humanistic literacy, offering a replicable model for reorienting humanities pedagogy beyond exam-driven paradigms. |
