Opportunities, Challenges, Tools and Helpful Relations. Development of a Model of How to Foster Reflections in Higher Education
Scholkmann, Antonia; Lolle, Elisabeth Lauridsen
Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, v9 n1 p1-23 2021
This paper presents a model which can be used to help teachers to design pedagogical opportunities for meaningful reflections in higher education. Within the PBL Future initiative of Aalborg University, we worked with a group of students from different study programmes and levels. In a three-semester long process these students engaged in a series of reflective activities aimed at helping them become more aware of their professional competence developments. In an iterative process we analysed their reactions to and interactions with a set of given reflective tasks (both face-to-face and online), and with the research team. We summarise our insights into the complex dynamics of reflective processes in a model which conceptualises reflections as taking place as interplay between opportunities, challenges, tools and helpful relations, and with inspiration from the outside world.
