Online Reflective Group Discussion--Connecting First Year Undergraduate Students with Their Third Year Peers
Tsang, Annetta K. L.
Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, v11 n3 p58-74 Aug 2011
University professional programs seek to develop students as reflective practitioners. The ability to critically reflect is often assumed to occur along the way. The explicit development of critical reflective skills among students is challenging. This study describes the utilization of online group discussion for critical reflection and provides insights into students' perception of the learning experience obtained via an experience evaluation questionnaire. Results suggest that online reflective group discussion may be relevant for the development of critical reflective skills through peer mentoring and collaborative meaning making. (Contains 2 tables and 2 footnotes.)
