Drawing on Bourdieu's work, this article outlines the notions of cultural pluriformity and intersectional interculturality. The concept of cultural pluriformity refers to the co-occurrence of different (inter)cultural resources within the same individual or field. The notion of intersectional interculturality highlights the importance of…

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…

Digital technology (DT) does not come with a 'menu' of what teachers can select to transform their instructional practices; it is through use and reflection in/on practice that potential affordances are abstracted. Computer simulation (CS) as DT was explored through auto-ethnography, reflexivity, and action research. The findings of the study…

Art allows us to look within ourselves, to learn who we are and what interests us. It connects us to our thoughts, our feelings, our perceptions, and our external reality and experiences. Artistic expression enables students to think about themselves and their feelings, take the perspective of another while evaluating their artworks, set goals and…

As the careers of today are no longer typically stable and predictable, people should expect to encounter many challenges during their working life. The present study aimed to explore the meaning of difficulties in modern career-themed life narratives. A total of 54 Finnish sports graduates' narratives were analysed using reflexive thematic…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is an approach to learning which aims to improve learners' learning outcomes. In the SRL cycle, the quality of students' reflections is a critical factor in SRL performance that can improve learning outcomes. The feedback provided by teachers often has a significant impact on the quality of students' reflections.…

Visual journals are reflective learning journals that engage the active and purposeful exploration and incorporation of art mediums and visual imagery into the journaling process. This paper focused on the ways that visual journals might be enacted in K-12 classrooms. We begin by introducing the four ways New (2005) identified that artists,…

This research examines the effect of critical reflection activities in an educational environment that uses active and blended learning experiences for students to develop confidence, motivation, and engagement with their learning. A mixed-methods research approach was adopted on a sample of 137 Communications and Media students, who were involved…

Background/purpose: This study explores how mindfulness (MIN), social media use (SMU), reflective thinking (RT), and cognitive engagement (CE) interact among undergraduate students. Materials/methods: The descriptive approach combined with Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), using Smart PLS 4, was applied to analyze the complex relationships…

Open-text responses provide researchers and educators with rich, nuanced insights that multiple-choice questions cannot capture. When reliably assessed, such responses have the potential to enhance teaching and learning. However, scaling and consistently capturing these nuances remain significant challenges, limiting the widespread use of…

This research sought to answer the question about what students learnt from a self-regulated learning (SRL) video annotation tool in a hybrid secondary acting classroom. SRL is an important skill for students to self-direct their own learning processes. For the intervention, students engaged in a series of SRL activities through the video…

The present study focuses on pre-service teachers' reflective diaries and "friendly criticism" strategies for evaluating their self-regulation (SRL) components, through active learning. The study involved 54 students in a teacher education college, from two courses that aimed to empower a sense of commitment to the practicum process.…

Chemistry labs are often taught using a rote mechanical approach without much explicit scaffolding for academic reflection by the students. Reflection, however, can play an essential role in learning because it is an evidence-based learning process that generates, deepens, critiques, and documents learning. By moving away from traditional teaching…

Teacher educators are charged with the responsibility of training teachers who will be required to make numerous daily decisions. One effective method to equip teacher candidates to manage the multitude of teaching demands is through the implementation of reflective practice. This study aimed to investigate the placement experiences of The Ohio…

The value of college education for US police officers has been contemplated since at least the 1920's, yet the importance of critical thinking has only recently attracted scholarly attention. Modern police training is frequently led by experienced former practitioners; however, as "insiders" they may be less likely to critically evaluate…
