ABSTRACT This qualitative study investigates conditions for online reflective sessions, the challenges faced and the perceptions of young children when classes moved online. 18 children ages 10–11 participated in the study; they attended 9 online reflection sessions over Zoom and an exit interview. The study concluded that challenges faced when conducting online reflection sessions were the common technical problems – the instability of the network connections and limitations of an online platform. The conditions necessary for reflective sessions include creating appropriate and effective questions to facilitate the process, provision of pictures to prompt discussions and ensuring that the contexts for discussions should be relatable to young children’s experiences. The children had overall positive experiences and considered online reflections as enjoyable learning opportunities. This study provides ideas for supportive and effective conditions for online reflection sessions to promote and motivate meaningful reflections amongst young children.

ABSTRACT The ever-changing higher education milieu calls for a new way of leadership that ensures success for faculty working in academic institutions, including nursing education institutions. Whilst the available literature describes faculty self-leadership and its benefits in broader academic environments, there is dearth of literature that describes how nursing faculty’s self-reflection could be enhanced through self-leadership. This article shares four validated guidelines related to nursing faculty taking responsibility for their self-leadership by reflecting on their teaching practices. A broad exploratory, descriptive sequential mixed-methods study was conducted with nursing faculty from two provinces in South Africa to develop guidelines to facilitate their self-leadership. Guidelines were developed based on the findings of an integrative literature review and data from the qualitative and quantitative phases. The integrated data were used to draw concluding statements. Based on these statements, guidelines for the facilitation of self-leadership in nursing faculty were developed. The four guidelines related to nursing faculty taking ownership of their self-leadership of their teaching practices relate to self-reflection, goal setting, self-development, and collaboration. Nursing faculty should be encouraged to take ownership of their teaching practices, acquaint, and align themselves to institutional values and vision, thus prompting them practice self-leadership through self-reflection.

ABSTRACT After decades of work, a unified conceptualization of pedagogical reflection remains elusive. Seeking clarity on the identity of pedagogical reflection, this phenomenological study begins not with an a priori definition of reflection, but with the lived experiences of five veteran teachers. Its goal was to discern from the respondents’ narratives the essence of pedagogical reflection, what makes the experience of pedagogical reflection what it is. Analysis of respondents’ narratives show that their experiences of pedagogical reflection align with qualities of the classical virtue phronesis: an essentially moral, habitual way of being, concerned with practical situations, that weaves together thinking, feeling, wanting, deciding, and acting into a unified whole. This inclusive understanding of reflection organizes and harmonizes the varied work on reflection from Dewey to the present and provides direction for teacher educators in their work to help teacher candidates become reflective practitioners.

ABSTRACT Reflective practice is regarded as an essential competency to maintain high clinical standards by various professional bodies and is therefore emphasised within healthcare training programmes including Clinical Psychology. Clinical supervision is seen as the most common and useful way to encourage reflective practice in healthcare professionals but there is limited evidence on effective strategies for its development. Given this, this research aims to investigate the experience of clinical psychologist supervisors’ in developing reflective skills in trainee clinical psychologists. Six themes have been derived by using thematic analysis and the findings are discussed along with implications and future research directions.

ABSTRACT This paper aims to determine the role cognitive control awareness plays in university students through their scientific writing. Results show that through an assessment-centred instruction approach embedded in reflective learning, tertiary students at a faculty of sciences can achieve greater metacognitive awareness of their learning. Fourth-year students in a physical oceanography class displayed cognitive control over established activities designed to develop their discursive writing skills (writing components included objectives, subject content, methodologies, contextualization and environmental implications on local and global scales). Scientific writing was promoted through students managing their own learning processes and cognitive control through metacognitive awareness, i.e. through a constructivist scheme embedded in formative learning. In the POST test, students scored higher primarily in the categories of writing methodologies, and bibliographies. Teacher expertise, which was mainly provided through feedback and scaffolding for student autonomy was highly valued by the students, and included considering the effects of a teacher assessing their writing and providing strategies to write a better scientific paper

ABSTRACT Covid-19, the disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is recognised as one of the most challenging global events of the twenty-first Century. The detrimental impact of the pandemic resulted in high rates of infection, morbidity, and mortality, with health-care workers firmly positioned on the frontline of this unparalleled international crisis. An emerging literature detailing the impact of COVID-19 on health-care practitioners identifies high levels of depression, anxiety, and distress. Accordingly, there are calls for the implementation of effective interventions to tackle the impending spectre of psychological morbidities and staff burnout. While it is important to explore new approaches, it is also valuable to examine how existing strategies, such as reflective practice, can be repurposed to specifically address practitioner well-being. This requires a reimagining of reflective practice and a reimagining of the reflective practice contexts in which reflective activity occurs. This paper presents The Reflective Practice Integrative Framework, which illustrates how reflective practice can be used to address the complex aims of supporting effective patient care, while also facilitating practitioner well-being. The Reflective Organisational Learning Framework is also presented which can be used to develop effective reflective practice environments through single, double, and/or triple loop learning.

ABSTRACT A reflective teacher thinking paradigm usually might shape the teaching practices of professionals, especially in learner-centered educational environments. This study aims to reveal reflective thinking and reflective practices of qualified faculty in higher education institutions in more than twenty countries. To do that, 257 responses to a 5-point scale questionnaire from volunteer university faculty were analyzed. The relationship between reflective thinking and other components of the questionnaire is also presented in the study. The results provide evidence that reflective thinking is not a stand-alone attribute, and it works together with other abilities such as self-assessment, teaching awareness, and self-efficacy. The responses of the faculty were also examined and discussed. Based on the results, most of them have an interest in self-discovery and awareness on what they teach, assess their performance, and value feedback although the scores present a low performance on reflective thinking individually.

ABSTRACT Concepts such as active citizenship and critical consciousness are increasingly relevant to enable students to meet the challenges of tomorrow. Additionally, self-reflection is a powerful tool to observe the development of abstract concepts such as these. This qualitative exploratory study examined the extent to which university students in Colombia enhanced their critical consciousness and a sense of active citizenship through projects focused on cases of violence against social leaders in their region. During the project, 93 students in four academic cohorts wrote a total of 155 reflections related to their experiences. These were analyzed using qualitative content analysis with the AtlasTi software. The results evidenced a shift in students’ critical consciousness including a deeper understanding, a recognition of significance, an acknowledgement of privilege, and an awareness of the connection between local and global issues in relation to the topic of the project. In addition, traits of active citizenship were observed such as a sense of collective responsibility, a desire to contribute, a sense of empowerment, and growth in empathy. This research demonstrates the potential for authentic locally based project topics for developing active citizenship and enhancing critical consciousness as well as reinforcing the potential for reflections to demonstrate such development.

ABSTRACT Digital Storytelling (DST) is a unique and powerful way of conveying knowledge and experiences in almost all fields. The use of DST as knowledge transfer media is a perfect choice, especially in classrooms where knowledge and experiences are shared. However, Indonesian English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachers have little experience in adopting DST in classrooms, especially in English language classrooms. In this regard, this study aims at exploring Indonesian EFL teachers’ experience of applying DST in their classrooms through reflective practice. This case study recruited six EFL teachers as the participants. The teachers participated in a four-week workshop introducing digital storytelling and its potential to be adopted in English classrooms. They were required to create a DST-based lesson plan, implement the lesson plan, and create a DST book. The data were collected from teachers’ written reflective journals and semi-structured interviews. Following Farrell’s stages of English teachers’ reflective practice, this study revealed that Indonesian EFL teachers refined their beliefs and teaching principles as a result of adopting DST in their classrooms. In the practice, teachers saw that DST-based teaching and learning activities encourage students’ active engagement. Implications and further recommendations are discussed.

ABSTRACT It is aimed to reveal the concepts and values on undergraduate medical education within the clinical students’ reflective writings, and to reveal what the students’ suggestions are to improve medical education in their reflective writings. This is a qualitative study, and the reflective writings of the 5th year students were examined. Qualitative document analysis method was used to evaluate and interpret the data to reveal meaning, gain understanding and develop empirical knowledge. As a result of the content analysis of 192 reflective writings obtained from the students, 8 themes were extracted. Themes covering many important concepts such as self-regulated learning, professional concerns, health literacy, problems related to professional ethical values, effective communication challenges, emotional challenges, limitations in clinical training have emerged. Subjects revealed from reflective writings give medical educators important clues about which topics should be developed in medical education. We think that analyzing reflective writings at regular intervals in the evaluation processes of integrated reflection training programs will provide important data to medical educators on development of undergraduate medical education. Therefore, students’ reflective writing can be an important tool for the development of the curriculum.
