This account of practice tells the story of how engaging in a critical action learning set helped us address problems with student engagement in a postgraduate module. On the surface, this seems fairly straightforward following Revans' model (1971). However, what we actually have are multiple layers of self-reflection, a visual metaphor and its…

Situated in a graduate course on dialogic reflective journal writing for in-service English as a foreign language teachers, this paper explores Japanese teachers' comment writing on their peers' reflective journal entries. Previous studies on reflective journal writing in second language teacher education have examined multiple aspects of…

We outline the structure of a term-long graduate course on teaching undergraduate mathematics. We analyze reflections written by the graduate students participating in the course to understand how they experienced the course and how the course impacted their beliefs about teaching. We find that students enjoy the course and find it to be useful.…

This study presents a new instrument for assessing reflective thinking, self-efficacy, and self-regulated learning (SRL) among Universitas Terbuka postgraduate students registered in an online Research Methods course. The study validates the instrument's dependability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.918) and builds a strong factor structure by means of…

Simulation with simulated patients is increasingly used in occupational therapy. Ensuring the debrief component meets student needs to develop their self-assessment skills for participating in a self-regulating profession is essential. This explanatory mixed-methods research sought to explore factors contributing to accurate and inaccurate…

This paper discusses two interventions that explored the use, practice and outcomes of e-portfolios and videos in encouraging reflective practice (RP) in pre-service teacher education programmes in Bangladesh and Malaysia. The first case (Bangladesh) evaluates a tailored intervention facilitating student teachers' online reflections via Google…

It is widely acknowledged that healthcare practitioner well-being is under threat, as many factors like excessive workloads, perceived lack of organizational support, the rapid introduction of new technologies, repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, and other factors have transformed the health care workplace. Distress, anxiety and burnout are on…

A critical turn in heritage studies that integrates nonexpert (including colonial) voices presents significant didactic and educational challenges. How do we teach heritage practices in an intercultural, and previously colonial, context? The project Making Bonairean Heritage Together was designed as a showcase to equip students with essential…

This paper is a collaborative reflection on a graduate a/r/tographic (artist/researcher/teacher research project using vlogging as its means of inquiry into potential for subjective reconstruction. The initial study focused on shifting perspectives of self in times of solitude and new surroundings. Springgay et al.'s (2005) a/r/tographic…

The importance of reflection during learning process is widely recognized. Drawing on the literature, this article presents a study where students were stimulated to reflect during experiential learning, in order to both re- and de- contextualize their knowledge. We describe how different levels of prompted reflection can be related to academic…

This study aims to explore the experiences of postgraduate students, Master's and Doctoral, on using online learning journals (OLJs). In line with the nature of the study, instrumental case study was managed by the researcher as a qualitative research design in the current study. Participants include 12 graduate students, Master's and Doctoral,…

Opportunities and concerns regarding the use of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in higher education have evolved along with them. A concern is how their use could support the higher-order learning appropriate for higher education. Grounded in the conversational framework, this case study explored how reflective practice could be fostered in a…

In the study reported on here the reflective journals of student teachers enrolled for the Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) were explored to determine what new learning they had acquired during their teaching practice. Reflection is a process of reviewing an experience of practice to analyse it for improvement. In this way, reflective…

This study examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) as a reflective coach in graduate ESL practicums, using Activity Theory to assess its impact on student-teachers' (STs) reflective practices. An exploratory case study of 26 graduate ESL STs was conducted, with data from AI interactions and post-reflection questionnaires analysed…

The potential of reflection for learning and development is broadly accepted across the medical curriculum. Our understanding of how exactly reflection yields its educational promise, however, is limited to broad hints at the relation between reflection and learning. Yet, such understanding is essential to the (re)design of reflection education…
