The field of computer and information technology has been and will be among the fast growing career options, and college education remains a primary path for preparing the future workforce for this field .The need to innovate and improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning in computer and information technology courses continues to be of research and practical significance. This study proposes a reflective learning model of teaching and learning activities to encourage and promote students’ self-reflection and self-assessment in computer and information technology classes. An experimental instrument for reflective learning was used in different classes at a U.S. university. The data gathered during a period of three years indicate strong correlations between students’ reflective learning and their academic progress and achievements. This study presents the proposed model, reflective learning instrument, data collections, and discussions of the findings.
