| Abstract | This digest explores the literature related to journal writing from various disciplines, including psychology, language studies, outdoor education, and experiential education. Although journal writing has been around since ancient times, it was not until the early 1960s that it flourished as a learning tool. Instructors from a wide range of disciplines use journal writing in various contexts. Outdoor educators use journal writing to assist students in deepening their observations about their surroundings, and experiential educators use it to facilitate reflection. Journal writing helps students construct their own knowledge and develop creativity, writing skills, critical thinking, and observation skills. Problems with journal writing include: overuse, students writing to please the teacher, purely descriptive writing, and socially inappropriate uses of journals. Recommendations for educators who want to use journals focus on offering feedback and workshops to improve journal writing skills, recognizing students' varying interests in and perceptions of journal writing, setting aside semi-structured time for journal writing, modeling good journal writing behavior, exploring multiple ways of evaluating journals, establishing a trusting relationship between journal writer and reader, and coordinating journal writing assignments with other instructors.
