EDLM6200 - Reflective-Reflexive Practices in Technology Enabled Environments
Link for full lesson plan: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17adoZAcv0x5clfB0IbgXc328d08awnJ3/view?usp=sharing
In today’s slideshare, we look at the use of digital technology to enhance reflective-reflexive practice in a 5E lesson plan. It is in response to a teacher’s sudden and drastic shift from the traditional classroom to a strictly online learning environment. While learning takes place in the synchronous environment through live conferences, it is supported using an asynchronous learning management platform.
The 5e model of instruction will empower the students to take responsibility for their own learning. The teacher will guide the students through the five phases - engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate. Students will engage in reflective-reflexive practice in each phase using online digital tools.. The reflective-reflexive process will incorporate works from reflective gurus such as
Kolb - learning through experience
Gibbs - emotional feelings, action plan
Brookfield - four critical lenses - self, peers, experts and literature
Schön’s reflective models - reflection before, during and after
3. Pedagogical Approach
• 5E Model of Instruction
• Five (5) sequential phases
• – Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and
Evaluate
• Student-centered (Granger et al., 2012)
• Inquiry-based approach (Spencer & Walker,
2011)
• Experiential learning (Ergin, 2012)
Reflective-Reflexive Process
Kolb
• learning through experience (Tomkin & Ulus,
2016)
Gibbs
• emotional feelings, action plan (Markkanen et
al., 2020)
Brookfield
• four critical lenses – self, peers, experts,
literature (Brookfield, 2002)

2001)

18. Digital Tools to Support Reflective-Reflexive
Practices in Online Learning
• editable online KWHL charts (a modified KWL chart)
• effective to reflect before, during and after a lesson
• students plan for learning by building on their prior knowledge (Vaiyavutjamai et al.,
2012)
• Useful prompts to encourage thinking throughout the lesson
• increases student engagement, achievement and metacognition (Tok, 2013)
• encourages writing your thoughts which allows students to revisit or re-examine
their learning at a later time (Benade, 2015)
What do I Know? What do I want to Know? How will I find out? What Did I Learn?
19. • Online (collaborative) concept mapping tools
• helps organise thoughts by making connections between concepts, and adding new
concept and information
• facilitates reflection when used as a learning and assessment and collaboration tool
(Kandiko & Weller, 2013; Dabbagh, 2014)
• promotes critical thinking about understandings and misconceptions or highlights
the need for a more conceptual framework (Holcombe & Shonka, 1993)
• develops creative thinking and problem-solving skills (Tseng et al., 2013)
Digital Tools to Support Reflective-Reflexive
Practices in Online Learning
20. • Case study/Scenario-based Learning
• Promotes positive self-efficacy and classroom readiness (Bardach et al., 2020)
• Promotes a student-centered approach (Karunanayaka et al., 2017)
• Allows for active participation in real-world problems
Think-Group-Share activity sheet
• encourages students to think, write, collaborate and verbalise their thoughts
• In turn, students learn from self and peer reflections (Usman, 2015)
Digital Tools to Support Reflective-Reflexive
Practices in Online Learning
21. • Online guided reflective journal
• Helps clarify and organize your thoughts to engage in a higher sense of personal purpose
• Provides more opportunity for student to add graphics for visual impact (Pavlovich et al.,
2008)
• Ease of use, convenient and easily accessible
• May allow for more free-flowing, creative and thoughtful reflections (Pavlovich et al., 2008)
• Acts as feedback to instructor on what is happening in the class
• Give students the opportunity to express their inner learning by amplifying their voices
(Cook-Sather, 2017)
Digital Tools to Support Reflective-Reflexive
Practices in Online Learning
22. Changes needed!
• Teacher may require a change in attitude (Reed & Koliba, n.d.)
• Be honest (and ethical) with self and others
• Not seen as an expert but a moderator to guide communication
• Remain open to learning while encouraging others to learn
• Teacher will have to manage communication (Reed & Koliba, n.d.)
• Create a safe environment for communication
• Adopt and promote respectful listening skills (Helyer, 2015)
• Encourage active participation
• Use open-ended questions
• Accommodate both individual and group contributions
• Manage disagreements
23. Drawbacks of Digital Technologies
for Reflective-Reflexive Practice
• Challenging process that requires careful planning and meticulous thinking
(Karunanayaka et al., 2017)
• Cognitive overload – apart from engaging in reflective practice, teachers and
students may need to understand how to use the digital tools (Karunanayaka et
al., 2017)
• Technical problems – problems with connectivity, digital tools and LMS
