Abstract
The purpose of this research is to make clear structurally students' reflections in the process of skill learning in metalwork classes as part of a Technology Education Course at Junior High School level. An investigation was conducted with 893 junior high school students using "a reflection scale of skill learning." As the result of factor analysis, three factors were found: "F1: reflection on problem-solving"; "F2: reflection on false steps"; "F3: reflection for achievement". Also, as the result of cluster analysis, the following clusters were found: "problem-solving by feed-back control" and "problem-solving by feed-forward control"; "uneasiness with failure" and "uneasiness with a situation"; "will to complete tasks" and "self- control". These variables formed a lower rank structure under factors F1, F2 and F3 respectively. From these, it was suggested that students at the early step of the skill learning process intend to complete tasks through monitoring the process of their own work, and they perform concrete actions with some unease about failure and making false steps.
