Cultivating cultural capitals in introductory algebra-based physics through reflective journaling

The Review of Fundamental Framework for Reflective Thinking and Practice in Science Education: Implications for Transformative Science Learning

“…This learning environment challenges students to move beyond their comfort zone of traditional face-to-face instruction and engage in online learning while applying the principles of experiential learning to achieve transformative outcomes (Elsayary, 2021;Muhammad et al, 2023). Encourage reflective journaling as a means to support STEM students from diverse racial backgrounds in building strong connections between their life experiences and their studies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (Barth-cohen et al, 2018;Tran et al, 2022).…”

“…It encompasses a thorough scrutiny of one's conduct and past experiences for personal growth (Wang & Lin, 2008;Erickson et al, 2021;Menon & Azam, 2021;). The notions of reflexivity and critical reflection are commonly associated with reflective practice (Öztürk, 2020;Tran et al, 2022;Muhammad et al, 2023). Reflexivity pertains to an individual's ability and inclination to exhibit comprehensive self-awareness and reflect on their position in relation to their environment.…”

“…Australia and Sweden are also countries that have been productive in this area, with both countries having a consistent number of articles published over the years. Hong, 2019;Gette & Kryjevskaia, 2019;Halpin et al, 2020;Burgin, 2020;Quarderer & Mcdermott, 2020;Leopold & Smith, 2020;Menon & Azam, 2021;Naidoo et al, 2021;Tran et al, 2022;Treibergs et al, 2022) On the other hand, China and Canada have had a slower rate of publication in this area. Overall, this analysis of Figure 4 suggests that Turkey and the USA are leading the way in research on reflective thinking, while Australia and Sweden are also contributing significantly to this area of research.…”
