Many research have shown that reflection is one of the important factors in the learning process. It is then recommended that teacher should adopt various prompt techniques to promote learners¡¦ reflection ability in traditional classrooms. However, there are still very few studies on how to apply this kind of teaching strategy in outdoor learning environments. Therefore, this study designed an adaptive prompts strategy by matching prompt types with learning styles to improve learners¡¦ reflection levels in an outdoor u-learning environment. We conducted an experiment using the designed and developed learning system in a butterfly ecology garden. Two classes of thirty-nine 5th grade primary school students were involved in the experiment. The result shows that the reflection levels of the learners whose learning styles matched with the appropriate prompt types were higher than that the non-matched group of learners. Therefore, it is evidenced that the designed adaptive reflection prompt system is useful in an outdoor u-learning environment.
