Reflective practice, though ill-defined, has become an accepted educational concept within many health care disciplines particularly in nursing. Subsequently it has become benchmarked within Paramedic Sciences as a professional requirement for continuing education and clinical practice. However, despite the vast literature in nursing and the increasing growth of reflective practice in paramedic curricula it is unclear how it influences the students’ learning in preparation for graduate practice as future reflective practitioners. This research explored ‘to what extent does reflective practice in the paramedic curriculum influence the students’ academic and clinical learning leading to graduate practice’? A mixed methods approach with cohort samples of undergraduate health care students comprised four studies including surveys and non-participant observations of clinical simulation that were conducted in a university learning environment. The results showed overall that Paramedic students believed that they understood reflective practice and perceived it to be useful for their academic studies and clinical practice; although this is probably influenced more by formal teaching rather than the result of their own views. Students were able to describe reflective practice in ideal theoretical terms and were positive towards it regardless of their individual learning styles. However, in a clinical context, they applied it differently with significant emphasis on technical reflection. Evidence of the nature of reflective practice as it occurred during and after clinical simulation scenarios highlights a need for revised approaches to existing learning/teaching strategies with paramedic students. An extended understanding and refinement of reflective practice concepts including a new pedagogic framework to promote enhanced reflectivity are proposed. This theoretical framework is designed to accommodate reflective learning for both personal and collaborative learning related to curriculum outcomes. The use of clinical simulation for the development of reflective practice in the paramedic curriculum is supported with recommendations for further studies in academic and clinical settings.

This thesis suggests that the use of game elements may improve the results in processes of reflective learning. The inclusion of game elements in an existing application called ?Timeline? is used as a case study for testing our hypothesis.During the last few years there has been an explosive interest in gamification for a wide range of purposes, from marketing to education. The term gamification may be defined as the use of game elements to motivate people in performing non-game tasks.The effects of gamification have been proven in various environments before, but are not yet widely studied in the field of reflective learning. Reflective learning is the process of looking back on an experience and breaking it down into significant aspects in order to gain a deeper understanding of the factors affecting the outcome, and thereby improving future action. The thesis explores academic literature on gamification and reflective learning, and the possible impact of gamification on reflection is tested in a case study, where we incorporate game elements into an existing application for reflective learning. The new application is then tested on a group of participants who afterwards answer a survey. The results indicate that game elements can effectively motivate users to enjoy performing non-game tasks in reflective learning, specifically the task of data collection. The study also highlights possible side effects of incorporating game elements with competition and scores. Some users exploited the application's weaknesses to achieve higher scores in a way that did not enhance the act of reflection. Our conclusion is that gamification may be a useful tool in the field of reflective learning. It should, however, be used with care as it is more effective on certain tasks and some users may exploit weaknesses to achieve higher scores.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 121-123).
This thesis introduces the Jots system, a new technology designed to engage children in reflective learning as they work on design projects. Jots enables children to create brief updates, or "jots," describing their frustrations, achievements and other thoughts and feelings while creating projects in the Scratch programming environment. Later children can look back at their jots to reflect on their own design and learning processes. This thesis introduces an approach to reflective learning in four facets: cognitive, emotional, social and temporal. The design of the Jots system, as well as its development over time, are discussed. An empirical study with three middle school students who used jots in a facilitated context is analyzed in case studies and categorizations. The results of the study are examined in terms of the four aspects of reflection, and ideas for future work are presented.

This study explores how reflection upon oneself and one's own behaviour assists people - and, in particular, managers - to develop. Reflective techniques are examined in the context of action-learning (Revans, 1980 and Marsick, 1992) and are argued to be a powerful means of creating self-understanding, which in turn creates opportunities for self-directed personal change. Reflective techniques are also examined as a means of developing the personal craft or praxis of those who try to assist the development of managers, and as a technique for use in action research (Lewin, 1946) and the development of collective knowledge. Schon's (1987) concept of the 'reflective practitioner' provided a major theoretical foundation for this work. The study employed action research and action learning methodologies. The researcher spent six years honing her understanding and application of reflective techniques in assisting the development of managers. She also applied self-reflection to the development of her own praxis over that time. One result of the study has been the enhancement of the practical, reflection-based techniques used by the writer to facilitate the development of managers - and more importantly, offered to them to facilitate their own continuing development. Hopefully, these techniques will be of value to other practitioners in this field. A second outcome has been the review and refinement of some of the theoretical constructs used by this writer and other practitioners and theorists which help to describe and explain the phenomenon of reflection-based behavioural change. A third outcome has been the documentation of a case-study in the application of reflective techniques to the development of personal praxis, tracking the integration of conceptual understanding and technique. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the rationale, scope, methodology and outcomes of this study. Chapter 2 explores reflection as a technique for research and the development of collective knowledge, and incorporates a review of the relevant literature. Chapters 3 and 5 examine reflection as a tool for learning, drawing on the literature and tracking the development of the researcher's own understanding. Chapter 4 describes how the researcher learned to use reflective learning techniques when working with others and follows the gradual integration of her understanding with her practice. Chapter 6 summarises and reflects upon both the processes and the outcomes of the research.

Benefits to using a reflective journal include developing critical awareness and new perspective, problem-solving skills, and independent learning skills. The training of advanced piano students could be enhanced by the addition of journals to assist with their piano practice, specifically when learning new repertoire. Using the model by Plack and colleagues (2005) for developing and assessing reflection in reflective journal entries, we examined the journal entries of 18 advanced piano students to explore the development of reflection over a period of four weeks. Results suggest that reflectively trained piano students develop more critical reflection compared to a control group. Reflectively trained students perceive the same benefits to journaling as their counterparts in other disciplines. The most frequently referenced reflective elements include listing practice strategies and expressing feelings about the learning process. The reflective training model used in this study can be implemented by piano teachers and piano students.

Abstract The lack of a practical operational definition of "reflective learning" suitable for characterizing observations of performance is widely acknowledged. This definition is needed for observing and documenting reflective practice in research, education, and continuing professional development. The current exploratory research aims to operationalize "reflective learning" using a conceptual framework based on a comprehensive review of the relevant literature, and to validate this framework in the context of a medium-large scale study of brief self-directed e-learning activities in continuing medical education. Properties of reflective learning were identified in a literature review on reflective learning and higher order thinking. These properties were structured and represented in a conceptual framework, herein called the Reflective Learning Framework. Then, this framework was revised, and a related coding scheme was tested in a pilot study. The revised framework was validated in a qualitative multiple case study that involved 473 family physicians participating in writing comments and interviews. The written comments resulted in 1,776 comment cases, and 253 interview cases. A comment case was defined as one family physician reading, rating, and commenting on one research-based synopsis online. An interview case was defined as one family physician reading and rating a synopsis online, and then explaining the rationale of his/her rating. Using thematic analysis and the framework-related coding scheme, cognitive tasks observed in these cases were categorized. Then, using cross case analysis, frequency counts of each category in all cases were compared in matrices.Résumé L'absence d'une définition opérationnelle de l'apprentissage réflexif est habituellement reconnue. Cette définition est nécessaire pour observer et documenter la pratique réflexive en recherche, en éducation et en développement professionnel continu. La présente recherche explicative vise à opérationnaliser l'apprentissage réflexif avec un cadre conceptuel et à valider ce cadre dans le contexte des activités de formation en ligne en éducation médicale continue (e-learning). Une revue de la littérature sur l'apprentissage réflexif et le « higher order thinking » a permis d'identifier les caractéristiques de l'apprentissage réflexif. Ces caractéristiques ont été organisées et représentées dans un cadre conceptuel (Reflective Learning Framework). Ce cadre conceptuel et la grille de codage correspondante ont été révisés lors d'une étude pilote. Le cadre conceptuel révisé a ensuite été validé par une étude qualitative de cas multiples qui incluait des cas « commentaires » fournis par 473 médecins de famille, et des cas « entrevues » fournis par 40 médecins de famille et six médecins spécialistes. Concernant les commentaires, un cas est défini comme étant un médecin de famille qui lit, évalue et commente, sur Internet, un synopsis d'article de recherche. Concernant les entrevues, un cas est défini comme étant un médecin de famille qui lit et évalue un synopsis sur Internet, et qui explique la logique sur laquelle repose son évaluation. Les commentaires écrits ont contribué à 1.776 cas « commentaires », et les transcriptions d'entrevues à 253 cas. Une analyse thématique fondée sur le cadre conceptuel et$

As writing centers continue to petition for status, funding, and authority on university and college campuses, writing center research and assessment practices continue to evolve. Within the last 10 years, writing center administrators have turned to assessing the writing center based on student learning outcomes (SLOs). This research summarizes the assessment history of writing centers and then proposes a pilot study that uses portfolios and reflection as a way to assess student learning in a writing center on a metropolitan, four-year university campus. This research also discusses the pilot study in terms of future research and implications.

Despite many Clinical Psychology training programmes utilizing reflective practice groups as part of clinical training, there remains little research examining the experiences of such groups from a trainee perspective. However, it remains the preferred method of developing reflective practice skills during training. This research used interviews and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to explore the experiences of attending reflective practice groups as part of doctoral Clinical Psychology training. A purposive sample of eight participants were recruited for a single, semi-structured interview. The interviews were audio-recoded, transcribed and analysed by the researcher. Five superordinate themes were constructed: 'the process: there were so many layers', 'the impact: an ongoing process', 'the facilitator: a presence who was not always present', 'commitment: I hated it, but I still went' and 'getting through it: finding ways to cope'. Nineteen corresponding subordinate themes were constructed from the data. The research findings illustrate the varied and complex experiences of the participants. Whilst the experience was often difficult, participants appeared committed to attending and sought out ways in which to navigate the experience. The results are conceptualised in terms of existing psychological theory and literature. A critique of the research and suggestions for future studies are offered, which include exploring the views of the facilitators of such groups and comparing how groups are utilized within different training institutions. Recommendations are made related to the development of future reflective practice groups, which include recommendations related to the style of facilitation and the frequency and size of the group.

Lifelong learning became a must skill in Europe and all over the World that are affected by rapid social, technological and economical changes in nowadays. Qualitative training and learning process is influenced by many factors that should be carefully examined during the curriculum design phases, as well as during the learning/ teaching process. Distance learning and teaching is the efficient means to implement strategic aims of the system of education: to create learning possibilities for all society members, to contribute to designing effective learning/ teaching process, as well as to ensure more flexile organization of learning activities. While new distance learning/ teaching forms are getting more and more popular, they should be reviewed regularly applying a consistent quality evaluation methodology based on quality criteria and indicators, and distance learning/ teaching curriculum quality should be examined before each learning/ teaching process.
There are some examples of quality assessment methodology prepared for distance learning/ teaching curriculum assessment in Lithuania on practical level allowing assessing distance learning/ teaching curriculum quality before accreditation procedure, however, such factors as analysis of other existing resources for realisation of curriculum online, effectiveness of chosen curriculum design and factors, influencing learning/ teaching process having the current design options, are not assessed at all.

The main focus in this thesis was to develop a technological tool to make learning more fun, and to enable the students to reflect on their performance after partaking in an activity. In particular the main goals are: 1. Promoting an engaging user experience during a museum visit using mobile augmented reality. 2. Enabling students to reflect on their experience.Design choices were made on the basis of available theory, literature, and similar systems supporting reflection. The system was evaluated through usability testing, an expert evaluation, and a user evaluation in a realistic environment. The user evaluation turned out to be great success with more than 50 participants, and very few issues with the system itself.The work resulted in a mobile application utilizing augmented reality to engage students in a collaborative quiz, and a web-application which presents users with data collected during the activity to help them reflect on their experience and learn from it. This thesis, the developed system, and its evaluation contribute with an increased understanding of how technology can be used to promote reflection with young learners in order to improve their learning abilities.

Practitioners have agreed that service-learning programs or curricula guide students into developing a more robust connection to the community in which they live as well as amongst other members of that community (Eyler, Giles, Stenson, & Gray, 2001). However, what isn’t known extensively is how these outcomes have been generated (Kiely, 2005a). Based upon Milne’s (2000) reflective artmaking, this arts-based ethnographic study introduces the terminology reflective artmaking service-learning, demonstrating how the coupled learning processes of reflective artmaking and service-learning respond to the call for research. The Capacities for Imaginative Learning (Holzer, 2009) facilitated my ethnographic analysis, providing specificity towards deconstructing the underlying mechanisms of processing and filtering. Conducted in Texas among Christian homeschool students, this study inquires, how does reflective artmaking coupled with service-learning help to make the underlying concept of “community” visible? This ethnographic study focuses on the educative (Dewey, 1938) value of an arts-infused program with Christian homeschooled youth (ages 11-17) in Texas. Significant findings include the ways in which experiential learning based on a constructivist epistemology and a focus on the self was a suitable, but yet limiting, theoretical framework. Suggestions include ways to use reflective artmaking coupled with service-learning to enhance the authenticity and applicability of projects and thus to enhance student interest and ownership. This study provides a broad set practitioners in educational programs and public, private, and home schools with practical, innovative, substantive, and customizable methods of incorporating arts-based reflection on civic engagement within their teaching practices.

Reflection is frequently cited in the literature as integral to the type of learning in which professionals engage. However, throughout the literature the concept of reflection has been ill-defined and shown to be difficult to operationalize in studies. Beginning with a comprehensive review of the literature, this study sought to develop a research based way to operationalize reflection. Once reflection was defined and operationalized, a discourse analysis rubric was designed to identify elements of non reflective and reflective discourse used by participants in an online content-based mentoring and induction professional development program, e-Mentoring for Student Success (eMSS). The rubric was used to conduct a content analysis of online discourse between novice and experienced science teachers participating in the eMSS program. Coders determined which elements of non reflective and reflective discourse, including levels of discourse, were used by different types of participants in the various online discussion areas of the eMSS program. The results of this study showed a higher percentage of novice science teachers' messages were coded as containing overall higher levels of reflective discourse. This difference was partly attributed to the different roles experienced and novice science teachers have in this program. The different eMSS online discussion areas had varying percentages of messages identified as containing different levels of reflective discourse. Different discussion area curriculums, including types of discussion prompts and methods of facilitation, partly attributed to these differences. This study showed the importance of being intentional in the wording or modeling of what is expected from participants as they compose their messages. This study also showed that eliciting reflective thought processes from program participants depends on a variety of factors and can be contextual. No single factor stood out as essential to consistently encouraging reflective thought processes. Recommendations are made for designing program curriculums and facilitating the type of learning that results in the use of reflective thought by program participants.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects on a student’s metacognition, reflection, and learning in a specifically designed educational simulation supported by unique technology. The simulation allows players’ actions to be recorded for the purpose of review to identify mistakes. The simulation also allows students to start at and redo actions while fixing previous mistakes instead of starting over at the beginning of a new scenario. When starting at the mistake or point of failure, as identified by a facilitator, during the redo of the initial saved scenario, students reflect on the actions performed during the initial scenario. Student thinking during a redo of a scenario, after the initial scenario reflection, may be called reflective redo when the simulation technology can support starting from the point of failure. This research investigated how metacognition, reflection, and learning were affected by reflective redo. Two key findings were identified when analyzing reflective redo in how students.
learn the content and how they learn about their own use of metacognition and reflection. The first key finding relating to the influence of reflective redo on learning was that participants used reflection at levels that matched their need as a support mechanism. The second key finding was that the students’ abilities to place themselves in the problem space contributed to the amount of contextual information they needed to be successful— in this case, either starting from the beginning or from the point of failure.

Encouraging reflective leadership practice is a recognised focus for coaches and consultants in primary schools. Despite the wealth of knowledge on coaching and consulting in organisational learning, there is less known about the transition between these two interactions and the purpose behind this. This self-study of my practice as a regional school improvement officer in Victoria, Australia, details my interaction with six teacher-leaders, who considered school improvement strategies by constructing a pattern-block representation of the structures within their schools. The research questions posed were: “What do teacher-leaders reflect upon when considering school improvement approaches?” and “How does the external facilitator encourage teacherleaders to reflect upon their practice?” Research undertaken for this study was used to develop a range of statements related to Donald Schön’s theory of reflective practice, particularly reflection-in-action. The statements were presented as a stimulus for action in practice and encompassed a range of tensions. Tensions included; orchestrating change by moving between the current situation and a preferred future; making connections by acknowledging the complexity of the situation whilst attempting to create order; developing a strategy from the consideration of a shared vision and a written plan; and undertaking leadership by moving between hierarchical, distributive and self-organising structures. Tacit and explicit knowledge was evident when reflecting-inaction. Finally I explored how, as the external facilitator, I encouraged reflection by moving between coaching and consulting interactions. I began this research by examining the practice of others. However, the greatest learning I achieved related to how I reflected-in-action and my understanding of self-study in practice. Initially in this study, I placed myself at the centre of the research and considered this a selfin- study; however, as the study progressed, I examined both my practice and the research simultaneously, terming this self-and-study, and, finally, from my analysis of the research when the study concluded, I developed a series of statements that could be used as a stimulus for future action, which I refer to as self-from-study. The larger implication for this research therefore relates to my understanding of my own reflection-in-action and how by embracing a number of tensions one can consider a range of possibilities for improvement.Doctor of Philosophy

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Reflective journal writing has frequently been used in nursing and other health care fields as an educational strategy to promote reflection and learning. Although reflective journal writing is recognised as a valuable tool to promote students' learning, very little research has been undertaken to evaluate its use. The overall aim of this study is to examine the use of reflective journals in the promotion of reflection and learning in post-registration nursing students. In order to achieve that aim a qualitative descriptive case study design was utilised to examine four objectives. The first was to analyse reflective journals completed by students during a period of learning in order to determine the extent and level of reflection achieved. The second, to examine the use of reflective journals as an educational strategy for facilitating learning in the practice setting. Thirdly, there was the intention to examine the nature and content of guidelines given to students with regard to the use of a reflective journal, and fourthly, to examine the support given to students by preceptors in relation to completing a reflective journal during their practice experience. A purposive homogenous sample of eighty one part-time post-registration nursing students undertaking one of four modules, either as part of the Diploma in Professional Studies in Palliative Care Nursing or the Diploma in Breast Care Nursing during one semester constituted the total sample. Forty- two students agreed to participate in the research. Data were collected from reflective journals completed during one module and by interviews with fifteen students, two teachers and three preceptors. Forty-two journals were analysed to determine the extent and level of reflection using a model devised by Boud et al. [1985] and adapted by Wong et al. [1995]. A model devised by Mezirow [1990] was used to identify the non-reflectors, reflectors, and critical reflectors. The findings suggest that student writing can be used as evidence for the presence or absence of reflective thinking. Allocating students to the three categories of non-reflector, reflector and critical reflector was possible. However, identifying textual elements within the journals and allocating them to the finer levels of reflection was more difficult and less reliable. Evidence suggests overall that journals are a useful tool for promoting reflection and learning. However, some students appear to benefit more from journals than others. Approximately two thirds of the respondents were able to demonstrate varying levels of reflection and were classified as either reflectors or critical reflectors. The remaining one third of the respondents were unable to demonstrate any levels of reflection. Overall respondents expressed positive views, regarding the use of reflective journals. However, a small number found writing challenging and some questioned their use. Some respondents preferred to talk about their reflections rather than write them in a journal. The importance of receiving clear guidance on the purpose of journal writing from teachers, and the need for non-judgemental feedback were highlighted as important factors in promoting the effective use of journals. Some concern was expressed regarding the disclosure of confidential information, and also who would have access to journals when used for assessment purposes. The issue of the time required for reflection and writing a journal was a major concern for some respondents. Students valued the role of preceptors in supporting their journal writing during the practice experience. Preceptors considered that the preparation they received for their role was adequate. However, they did request debriefing sessions following their support of students who had experienced difficult situations. This study has presented further evidence that overall, reflective journals may be used as a tool to promote reflection and learning in post-registration nursing students.

The dissertation substantiates reflective learning as the conception and continuous education process. The application of the conception of mixed methods created possibilities to diagnose, to reflect and to point out models of reflection applied by future special education teachers during theoretical and practical studies as well as the factors influencing students’ self-reflection and their reflection on their activity and studies. The qualitative research was carried out by analysing unstructured written reflections presented by students, by applying the method of phenomenological hermeneutics to process the data. It was identified what internal and external as well as of what level factors make the strongest and the weakest impact upon the efficiency of reflective learning of students – special education teachers. The quantitative research disclosed general tendencies of students’ reflective learning at theoretical and practical studies by supplementing it with the results of the quantitative research. The significance of theoretical preparation was substantiated by the decrease of the fragmentation and inconsistence of applied methods of reflective learning. The latent structure of reflective learning was revealed, the model of reflective learning at university studies, based on theoretical and empirical data, was designed. The dimensions of the model should be treated in trends when improving the training and development process of special education teachers, modelling...

Introduction: Reflective thinking is conceptualised as a higher order thinking process that challenges one’s own beliefs and assumptions in order to come to new insights and understandings, thus making better informed decisions (Boud et al., 1985; Dewey, 1910; Dewey, 1933; Kolb, 1984; Mezirow, 1991; Schon, 1995; Tsingoset al., 2014). Developing reflective skills in pharmacy education is crucial, yet the current literature in this area is scant (Tsingos et al., 2014). AimsThis research aimed to (i) investigate reflective practices to enhance pharmacy education and, (ii) develop, test and evaluate a model which could be utilised to assess reflective practices in pharmacy education. MethodsPhase 1 involved conducting three literature reviews followed by Phase 2 with the undertaking of five research projects utilising both quantitative and qualitative measures. ResultsThe eight research projects within this Thesis demonstrated that reflective practice skills can be effectively taught through prompts and instruction; may assist in the deeper learning process; promote critical thinking skills to enhance future practice; have the potential to enhance students’ academic performance and can be reliably assessed by raters from different educational disciplines. ConclusionAmodel utilising a suite of reflective activities and a novel assessment strategy have been proposed, and have been integrated into an undergraduate Pharmacy curriculum.

A longitudinal study followed a cohort of students through the Bachelor of Education (Honours) degree course, the main route to primary teaching at the University of Strathclyde. The main purpose was to determine the extent to which the school experience element met the expressed aims of the course, in particular, the aim of developing reflective practitioners, which is the model of the teacher that underpins the four-year course. In the first year of the study, baseline data was gathered from students in all four years of the course, their faculty tutors, supervising teachers and those members of staff in school holding the remit for students. First year students formed the basis of the longitudinal study, with data gathered through questionnaires and interviews over the subsequent three years. This data was supplemented by an analysis of students' self-evaluation reports and 'good practice' interviews with a sub-sample of supervising teachers. The findings indicate that the major ity of students experienced a primarily apprenticeship form of preparation for the teaching profession, rather than a reflective practitioner model. While considerable opportunities were provided within the structure of the course for the acquisition and exercise of skills of reflection and critical analysis, other factors influenced the extent to which these were realised. These included resources, and the ways in which teachers and tutors interpreted their roles and responsibilities as supervisors. Consideration is given as to how these might be addressed in order to provide a professional workforce of reflective practitioners might be realised within the current framework of pre-service primary education. More fundamentally, issues of professionalism, government policy changes and the changing context of professional education generally, support the argument that the Scottish BEd, in its present form, is unlikely to support the development of the reflective primary despite the professed aims of its designers.

This study reports a reflection upon the experience of a multiyear elementary school learning community designed for improved teaching and learning. The exploration uses interview data to describe the perceptions and reflections of the principal and teachers directly engaged in this project of educational reform. The goal of this process is to gain a deeper understanding of the experience and to determine to what factors the participants attribute the outcomes of this project.
Through an auto-ethnographic reflective critical practice inquiry and extended interviews, this study describes the context and environment of this learning community and how the participants reflect on their experiences in that community. It also provided an opportunity for participants to review and explain their perceptions and attributions regarding both the measured and the unintended outcomes associated with this learning community project.
Results from teacher and administrator reflections indicate that the strength of a multiyear learning community is the positive relationships that they foster and the institutional consistency for both parents and students. Evidence from the interviews indicates that teachers' expectations for outcomes of multiyear learning communities may differ from those of administrators, and be less concerned with improved achievement measures than other, relationship-focused outcomes.
A key implication of this study is that, although the principal players involved in the creation and implementation of this learning community use terms that describe or refer to the overall experience as very successful, test scores did not respond significantly to this innovation. This suggests that comprehensive plans need to be developed in advance to assure appropriate and accurate methods of measuring success in innovations such as this.

Effective practice determines the quality of a performance and it is essential to improving a musician's overall level of playing. Studies show that experts in the field of music display superior metacognitive skills, or the ability to think about one's thinking. Metacognition is an important skill that needs to be developed in order for a student to become a self-regulated, or independent learner. Effective practice can be improved by learning and developing metacognitive and self-regulated learning skills.
An important component of self-regulated learning is reflective thinking. Reflective thinking is a mental process that contributes to deeper learning experiences, improves problem solving skills, and enhances creativity. Reflective thinking can be stimulated with writing activities. Research and theories of reflective practices informed the creation of the Reflective Writing Prompts.
The Reflective Writing Prompts stimulate reflective thinking as they teach and develop metacognitive and self-regulated learning skills to make practice more effective. Each exercise prompts the student to think and write a response to questions focused on a specific skill. These prompts are based on research in music psychology and reflective thinking, with special focus on metacognition, self-regulated learning, practice habits, and reflective journaling. The pertinent studies and theories in these areas will be examined and explained in relation to each other. With this foundational knowledge in place, the Reflective Writing Prompts will be presented. The prompts are designed to support first or second year music students in their development as independent learners who practice effectively.

Il crescente utilizzo delle tecnologie in educazione e il mancato raggiungimento
dei risultati attesi hanno portato l’attenzione sulla progettazione didattica al
fine di favorire risultati educativi migliori e un più proficuo uso delle tecnologie.
La progettazione didattica è un’attività complessa che richiede un cospicuo numero
di competenze. Negli ultimi anni le ricerche del settore hanno portato
allo sviluppo di numerosi modelli e software per supportare la pratica di design,
ma, nonostante gli sforzi, la diffusione tra i docenti risulta limitata.
Questa tesi di ricerca si inserisce nel campo del Learning Design (LD) e dello
sviluppo di competenze e professionalità dei docenti. Obiettivo principale è affrontare
il problema della comprensione e della diffusione del LD tra i docenti
non specialisti in progettazione didattica e di sviluppare delle soluzioni che
possano facilitare il processo di progettazione e promuovere lo scambio di progetti
didattici e lo sviluppo professionale dei docenti. Ispirandosi all’approccio
suggerito dall’Educational Design Research, la ricerca è stata svolta in collaborazione
con un gruppo di docenti d’italiano come lingua seconda/straniera
provenienti da diversi paesi. Collaborando a distanza tramite un sito web
sviluppato per il progetto, i docenti hanno partecipato attivamente attraverso
pratiche di progettazione semio-partecipative che hanno permesso una maggior
comprensione dell’uso, delle aspettative e del significato da loro attribuito alla
progettazione didattica.
I principali risultati di questo percorso di ricerca sono scaturiti nella definizione
di un approccio alla progettazione didattica basato sull’epistemologia della
pratica e all’implementazione di LEDITA (LEarning Design for ITAlian language),
una web application per la creazione, la modifica, la condivisione e il
riuso di progetti. Il processo di progettazione proposto con LEDITA attiva
un doppio ciclo di riflessione. Il primo, durante la fase di design, permette
lo sviluppo di competenze e la crescita professionale tramite la riflessione-inazione
e l’ampliamento del repertorio didattico. Il secondo, per mezzo della
condivisione e dell’adattamento di un progetto a un nuovo contesto, favorisce
la riflessione-sull’azione e la revisione critica della professionalità docente. Tali
risultati sono, infine, stati validati da analisi esploratorie che hanno rivelato
buoni livelli di usabilità e di comprensione da parte di docenti non specializzati
in design.The increasing use of technology in education and the failure to achieve the expected results have brought attention to the Learning Design (LD), in order to promote better educational outcomes and a more profitable use of technology. LD is a complex activity that requires a large number of competences. In recent years, research in the field has led to the development of numerous models and software tools to support the practice of design, but, despite the efforts, the diffusion among teachers remain limited. This thesis relates to the LD research field and the development of teachers’ competencies and professionalism. The main objective is to address the problem of understanding and dissemination of LD between teachers non-specialist in design, developing solutions that can facilitate the design process, promoting the sharing of educational designs and the professional development of teachers. Inspired by the approach suggested by the Educational Design Research, the research was carried out in collaboration with a group of teachers of Italian as a second/foreign language from different countries. Collaborating at a distance via a web site developed for the project, teachers were actively involved through semio-participatory design practices which allowed a greater understanding of the use, the expectations and the meaning they attribute to the design in education. The main results of this research are the definition of a LD approach based on the epistemology of practice and the implementation of LEDITA tool (LEarning Design for ITAlian language), a web application for creating, editing, sharing and reuse of designs. The design process proposed with LEDITA activates a double loop of reflection. The first, during the design phase, allows the development of competences and professional growth through the reflection-in-action and the expansion of the didactic repertoire. The second, through the sharing and adaptation of a design to a new context, the reflection-on-action and the critical review of teachers’ professionalism. Finally, these results were validated by exploratory analysis that revealed a good level of usability and understanding by teachers non-specialized in design.

The aim of this thesis was to explore Swedish pharmacist students’ learning during pharmacy internship. Internships are meant to introduce students to professional practice. Education programs have to reflect changes in the professional role, and take into account that learning in a professional practice setting differs from organized formal education. This thesis includes both quantitative and qualitative research approaches and applies workplace learning theories. A scheme for measuring pharmacy students’ reflective ability was developed and shown to be feasible and reliable. Factors important for reflection were found to be primarily social and contextual, especially trained tutor and small pharmacy size. Notably, learning style or critical thinking did not correlate to students’ reflective ability. Tutors and students perceived that students used a wide variety of activities supporting learning of a broad repertoire of knowledge and skills, preparing them for coming professional working life. Tutors are most important to support learning. However, the current curriculum and formal activities do not address all these outcomes and learning activities used, e.g. workplace learning. The first overall conclusion is that internship plays an essential part in the pharmacist education program. The integration of formal and informal learning activities during internship, including raising awareness of incidental learning, is important to support students in learning the professional practice of pharmacy. This integration could possibly be strengthened by introducing further tutor training, different assignments, and by using portfolios. The second conclusion is that the community of practice is essential for students’ learning during internship, especially the student-tutor interaction. Hence, the entire social context has to be considered and it is important to ensure a good learning environment at pharmacies during internship. In summary, this thesis contributes to the understanding of students’ learning during pharmacy internship and introduces educational research on the Swedish undergraduate pharmacy education programs.

Thesis (MEd (Education))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2019The quality of education in South Africa has drawn critical attention as children continue to perform poorly as they progress through school. Reflective practice is promoted and implemented internationally as a method to improve quality teaching and learning. Nationally a growing interest in the implementation of reflective practice is reflected in the Department of Basic Education’s suggestion that teachers make use of reflective practice to inform their classroom planning. The objective of this study was to investigate the knowledge and understanding Grade R teachers have of reflective practice. As Grade R is the first year and the foundation of a child’s school career, it was of interest to explore whether teachers reflect on their practice. This study was located in an interpretivist paradigm using a case study design. Two Grade R teachers were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. Their annual, termly and weekly planning was analysed alongside the transcripts of the interviews, using thematic analysis to identify common themes of reflective practice in Grade R. Five themes emerged from the analysis, which enabled the exploration of the benefits and challenges of using reflective practice in Grade R. These five themes allowed for the development of the idea of using reflective practice as a means for improving teaching and learning in Grade R. The teachers interviewed value the idea of reflective practice as a way to meet the needs of the children. They describe it as an innate aspect of their teaching. However, they have a tacit understanding and knowledge of reflective practice and it was not evident in the documents they use to inform their teaching. For reflective practice to be encouraged teachers need support from within their schools and from the Department of Basic Education.

Background Continuing professional development stakeholders are continually searching for better ways of collecting and using data to determine the educational needs of physicians. Research questions1) What, if any, family physician learning needs are revealed through the reflective process prompted by the Information Assessment Method (IAM)?2) What is the meaning of the Highlight ratings for the identification and prioritization of Canadian family physician learning needs? Methods A mixed methods sequential explanatory design was employed. Quantitative IAM data was collected from a family medicine web based e-Therapeutics+ 'Highlights' continuing medical education program over a 22-week period. Six senior Canadian continuing professional development key informants were interviewed about the meaning and potential uses of this IAM data in the context of current needs assessment practices. Results 3690 family physicians rated at least one highlight (31.4% participation rate). A mean of 675.2 (range 414-1176) ratings per highlight was recorded. On average, 54.5 % of participants learned something new, 45.7 % were motivated to learn more and 59.3% found topics to be relevant to at least one patient in practice. Key informants found that ratings 'motivation to learn more' may suggest participants' learning needs when combined with data from other sources, and that 'learning' and 'relevance' ratings can reveal information about participants' knowledge base. Conclusions With data from other sources, IAM data may suggest learning needs, and reveal topics where physician knowledge was confirmed.Contexte Les personnes impliquées dans le domaine du développement professionnel continu (DPC) cherchent constamment des meilleurs moyens de collecter et d'utiliser des données pour déterminer les besoins des médecins en éducation continue. Questions de recherche1) Est-ce que des besoins d'apprentissage des médecins de famille sont révélés à travers le processus de réflexion suscitée par la Méthode d'évaluation des informations (MEI)?2) Quelle est la signification des évaluations des « Highlights » pour l'identification et le choix des priorités concernant les besoins d'apprentissage des médecins de famille canadiens? Méthodes Une recherche utilisant des méthodes mixtes a été conduite (devis séquentiel explicatif). Des données quantitatives ont été collectées avec la MEI sur une période de 22 semaines via un programme d'éducation continue en médecine familiale avec une ressource internet, e-Therapeutics+ 'Highlights'. Six informateurs clés experts en DPC ont été interrogés sur la signification des données obtenues avec la MEI, et les utilisations possibles de ces données pour évaluer les besoins d'apprentissage. Résultats 3690 médecins de famille ont participé (taux de participation : 31.4%). En moyenne, 675,2 questionnaires MEI ont été complétés par 'Highlight' (414 - 1176). En moyenne, 54,5% des participants ont appris quelque chose de nouveau, 45,7% étaient motivés pour en savoir plus, et 59,3% ont trouvé des informations pertinentes pour au moins un de leurs patients. Les informateurs clés ont trouvé que les réponses 'motivation pour en savoir plus' peuvent suggérer des besoins d'apprentissage des participants lorsqu'elles sont combinés avec des données provenant d'autres sources, et que les réponses 'j'ai appris' et 'information pertinente' peuvent révéler des informations sur les connaissances des participants. Conclusions Avec des données d'autres sources, les données obtenues avec la MEI peuvent suggérer des besoins d'apprentissage, et révéler des sujets pour lesquels les médecins ont amélioré ou confirmé leurs connaissances.

I was motivated to undertake this research by concerns that arose from my professional and personal experiences in education. I was concerned that students with visual impairment were not being offered equality of access to the mathematics curriculum. Some schools cited high visual content as a reason for withdrawing students from mainstream classrooms. The study set out to pursue the thesis that students' experiences in mathematics education could be enhanced and extended through using audio recordings as complementary means of learning. It was carried out, in a variety of settings, with students of upper primary and secondary age. The value of applying a multi-method approach became evident over three years of fieldwork. I supplemented Soft Systems Methodology (Checkland and Scholes, 1990) with principles from other methodologies in response to feedback on use and production of audio materials. Students made invaluable, constructive contributions in their roles as co-researchers. An action-research approach evolved as most appropriate for the study. A complex interplay of factors was found to affect the extent to which audio recordings could be facilitative of inclusion. As well as analysing these factors and considering their wider implications, this account describes how my original formulation of the research in terms of issues of access became reconceived in terms of reflective, reciprocal learning. The study opened up sources of information that, seemingly, were being unexplored, under used, under valued and under researched, namely the resources that students themselves possessed. The study drew on case study material relating to the learning experienced by individual students to explore an emerging concept of reciprocal learning, both as a pedagogic relationship facilitative of inclusion and as a method for practitioner research. It is recommended that further exploration of the potential value of a reciprocal learning approach should form the basis of future research.
