In today's education, the main focus is on developing children as autonomous learners who can formulate their own questions and solve problems, and exploratory learning has come to be emphasized. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of conceptual instruction combined with reflection work to improve the quality of children's reflections, from the viewpoint that high-quality reflections are important in exploratory learning. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis test showed that although the quality of the reflections increased significantly overall in the practice before combining the work with concept-based instruction, the difference tended to widen between the children whose quality increased and those whose quality did not. After combining the work with conceptual instruction, the overall quality of the reflections increased significantly, and the range of change was large. In addition, the differences among the children were smaller, indicating that the quality of reflection increased for more children. It was suggested that the development of the ability to perform high-quality reflection is important as a foundation for learning as an autonomous learner.
