The concepts of metacognitive reflection, reflection, and metacognition are distinct but have undergone shifts in meaning as they migrated into medical education. Conceptual clarity is essential to the construction of the knowledge base of medical education and its educational interventions. We conducted a theoretical integrative review across…

Reflexivity has become a key concept in RE. It plays a vital role in the interpretive approach and the broader contexts of hermeneutics, anthropology, and research methodology. Moreover, reflexivity is closely related to other terms like self-awareness and self-reflection. How can we conceptualise reflexivity and these related concepts? What are…

We examined the characteristics of video annotations frequently discussed during debriefing conversations as part of video-assisted coaching cycles. We also analyzed how mathematics coaches used written annotations to inject ideas into debriefing conversations when supporting teachers to reflect on important classroom events. Coaches and teachers…

Reflective thinking (RT) is one of the higher-order thinking skills which have been of great importance to the researchers from a variety of disciplines for years. Although the significance of RT has been discussed in many studies and many different forms, there are no bibliometric studies conducted on this topic. This study aims to examine the…

The aim of this study is to make a bibliometric analysis of the articles on higher order thinking skills in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. Since the research topic has a universal dimension, it is considered important to describe the current situation as it will add a broader perspective to future studies on higher order…

The present education system demands reforms and constructive planning to meet the changing needs resulting from the changing global scenario and technological evolution. National Education Policy (NEP-2020) is a commendable effort to address this need. It places the teacher at the center of the fundamental reforms of the entire system. According…

A review of the literature was carried out to identify reflection directly related…

Iteration and improvement are important attributes of design, tacitly indicating that failure is also a part of the process. There are different conceptions of failure in engineering contexts than in other academic settings. Therefore, for beginning designers, these failure experiences may be perceived as mishaps, lowering confidence or interest.…

Qualitative researchers in school psychology are asked to reflect on how their identities, goals, and backgrounds influence their research studies, and to disclose these influences in their manuscripts. Given that reflexivity is a process and not an event, it can be challenging to decide what and how much about oneself, or selves, to disclose in a…

When engaging in community-based research, it is important to consider ethical research practices throughout the project. While current research practices require many investigators to obtain approval from an ethics review board before starting a project, more is required to ensure that ethical principles are applied once the investigations begin…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify and investigate which factors affect coaching in higher education. Design/methodology/approach: The study employed a qualitative meta-synthesis method. Based on the seven-step method (Sandelowski and Barroso, 2006), articles related to coaching in higher education were searched in five databases…

Thus talk is often privileged over silence as the basis for learning activities in classrooms, sustained by theories of learning which afford priority to talk. Such cultural bias towards talk means that by…

This paper aims to explore the shared features of effective professional development programmes for improving teachers' assessment literacy (AL). On the basis of the literature review of 17 empirical studies related to teachers' AL improvement, the features of effectiveness can be categorized into three themes: 1) What (Content): The programme…

Third-party observations using validated observation protocols (OPs) provide a reliable way of recording teacher and student behaviors across different classrooms and institutions, which can then be used to identify what pedagogical strategies geoscience faculty use and how they are tied to learning outcomes of importance to the field. We examined…
