Online and blended learning over the years have brought great challenges and opportunities. At the beginning of this project, we asked: How do educators reflect on teaching online in particular? And how do we articulate our reflections in creative ways? With these questions in mind, the authors took on the challenge of the artistic expression of…

The study examined how the process of studying various conflict resolution methods affected students' perceptions of conflict. The study employed a qualitative thematic analysis of weekly reflection assignments to capture shifts in students' perspectives on conflict. Findings revealed significant shifts in students' perceptions of conflict from…

This paper introduces REFLECTSUMM, a novel summarization dataset specifically designed for summarizing students' reflective writing. The goal of REFLECTSUMM is to facilitate developing and evaluating novel summarization techniques tailored to real-world scenarios with little training data, with potential implications in the opinion summarization…

This paper introduces a newly implemented arts-based space for reflection and identity development for students with disabilities (SWDs) in a disability services office in the American Southeast. This project aimed to help students make sense of their disability through creating a three-panel art project and an accompanying written description.…

The field of education is facing critical shortages in qualified teachers. Preservice students are limited in field experience by their teacher preparation location and proximity to diverse populations. Many colleges and university tasked with teacher preparation are seeking post-pandemic solutions to teacher preparation which potentially involve…

Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated three-dimensional environment representing the real or imaginary world with the virtual world through various sensory channels. The multisensory immersion feature of VR (Immersive VR-I-VR) reduces the user's awareness of what is happening in the surroundings. The use of immersive virtual reality…

The current study examined the influences of SRL prompts provided in three different phases (i.e., forethought, performance, and self-reflection) on college students' learning outcome and SRL levels during video-based learning. Fifty-eight participants were randomly assigned into one of the four conditions: 1) SRL prompts at the forethought phase;…

The Teaching Scholars Program and Community of Practice (TSCoP) develops educational leadership and research through enabling reflective conversations, purposeful listening, inclusive standards, and bold thinking about Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). Teaching Scholars lead innovative practice in their own faculty given their shared…

The COVID-19 pandemic upended nearly every aspect of life, from the personal to the professional; in essence, it threatened many individuals' wellbeing.

Having students write reflections has been shown to help teachers improve their instruction and students improve their learning outcomes. With the aid of Natural Language Processing (NLP), real-time educational applications that can assess and provide feedback on reflection quality can be deployed. In this work, we first evaluate various NLP…

This paper explores factors that contribute to increased self-efficacy in preservice teachers as they practise teaching mathematics in a primary classroom. Thirteen preservice teachers completing a Master of Primary Teaching contributed to the research, four of whom became the focus of intense examination during two professional practices…

As part of a large exercise physiology laboratory (lab) reform project, we used blended learning to support graduate teaching assistants and lab technicians in developing their pedagogical knowledge and create an entry point to reflective conversations about teaching and learning. Because self-paced asynchronous online modules can enable…

We are three mathematics teacher educators (MTEs) at a Hispanic serving institution that predominantly teach mathematics education courses for elementary and secondary teacher candidates (TCs). In this paper, we present findings from a collaborative self-study in which we used dimensions of the Rehumanizing Mathematics (RM) framework (Gutiérrez,…

This paper examines students' understanding of good leadership and successful teamwork. I used learning portfolios as a reflection tool for bachelor students in geography who participated in a community-based research course, which was combined with elements of service-learning. The learning portfolios consisted of seven reflection-stimulating key…
