Potter and Kustra (2011) discussed scholarship of teaching and learning and the importance of critical reflection on one’s practice.
A project was undertaken with final year undergraduate education students. The methodology used was self-study (Samaree 2006). Through the study students were encouraged to reflect on activities and then the data was analysed and five themes have started to arise. These are:
- Personal situated inquiry
- Critical collaboration inquiry
- Improved learning
- Transparent and systematic research process
- Knowledge generation and presentation
The data is leading to a model being developed.
