This integrative review by Maria Navarro (University of Georgia) introduces the SIRR Framework (Spaced Interleaved Reflective Retrieval), a design-oriented approach that reframes reflection as a structured and recurring mechanism for durable learning. By integrating retrieval practice, interleaving, elaboration, and metacognitive regulation, SIRR moves beyond surface reflection to support deeper cognitive processing.

Evidence shows that this approach enhances long-term retention, strengthens conceptual differentiation, and promotes knowledge transfer across contexts—offering a practical and theoretically grounded framework for educators and researchers in higher education.
