| Abstract:
The American Evaluation Association (AEA) provides members with multiple means of communicating and sharing knowledge. In the spirit of promoting these objectives, this paper will be a springboard for a discussion about the possibility of establishing a system for sharing data. What would be the strengths and limitations of making datasets, that otherwise might lie dormant after their primary use is accomplished, available to other AEA members?

| Abstract:
Nowadays reflexivity is the central dynamics of intentional learning. Indeed, it is one of the most relevant theoretical and methodological devices of contemporary educational training which focuses on the professional's subjectivity and ability to convey meaning to certain events and experiences. As a consequence, what emerge are introspective training practices, memory recurrences, auto-analysis of experience protocols, hermeneutics exercises.
Blending with reflection, evaluation becomes an internal process of monitoring carried out by the learning subject throughout his/her training pathway. In this sense, reflection may stimulate a new awareness which increases the learner's wish to change, evolve, re-plan, develop and expand. During reflective evaluation, the subject explores and observes himself/herself and evaluates the quality and the quantity of the changes in which he/she is involved.
