Self-Observation Debrief

A self-observation debrief is a structured reflection protocol used in paired learning activities where no external observer is present. Participants answer a specific set of questions about what they noticed in themselves during the enactment, what they noticed about the counterpart, and what they would try differently. The protocol replaces the third-party observation an external observer would provide, and its specificity is what makes paired activities produce generalizable insight rather than ending at "that was interesting."
