Previous research referred to some characteristics of discussion technique such as promoting a democratic environment (Brookfield & Preskill, Citation1999); freedom of speech (Redfield, Citation2000); engagement in learning (Leeds, Stull, & Westbrook, Citation1998), developing higher order thinking skills (Ewens, Citation2000); learning from others contributions (Hertenstein, Citation1991). Analysis of students reflective journals showed that students favour the following teaching strategies: gradual teaching, exemplification, discussion, cooperative learning, comprehension checking and graphic organisers. These students were requested to write a weekly reflective journal using the template in Appendix. First, teachers need to be emotionally-responsive to students problems to result in better relationships (Yoon, Citation2002). These are sometimes called reflexive diaries, self-reflexive journals, research journals or research diaries. endobj Reflection is a process in which ones cognition and socio-cultural context interact. Finally, grading was not a big issue for the participants of the current study as reflective journals were marked out of 5% on completion. Findings showed that teachers provide electronic feedback to students reflective journals; however, other students complained about teachers preference for hand-written feedback on students other assignments.

Seventy-three journal entries referred to teachers lack of handouts in class. An essay diary can take the form of an annotated bibliography (where you examine sources of evidence you might include in your essay) and a critique (where you reflect on your own writing and research processes). Findings of the current study highlighted that the following teaching strategies are beneficial: cooperative learning, discussion, comprehension checking, gradual teaching approach, exemplification and graphic organisers. American Psychological Association (APA), Source: In addition, students were not biased, as they knew that the purpose of this research is to improve instructional practices and their instructors assured them that their opinions would neither affect their grades nor their relations with them. (RJ, teaching strategies that work, cooperative learning, S. 1, week 5). Moreover, teachers find giving feedback to students on their reflective journals a time-consuming process resulting in not wanting to continue using journal assignments (Moon, Citation2006; Pavlovich, Citation2007; Thorpe, Citation2004). This review of literature provides the reader with an understanding of the various ways journals are used and assessed in teacher education programs. The reflective journal in qualitative research is a written record by the researchers themselves and is written throughout the research process. Join SPSSI; Conferences; COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW.

Social constructivism emphasises social construction of knowledge through the views of the study participants (Burr, Citation1995) and the role of culture and context in interpreting and understanding reality (Pritchard & Woollard, Citation2010). This is why personal reflection is an important part of qualitative research design. Marsh (Citation2007, p. 319) highlighted that students evaluation of teaching effectiveness is multidimensional, reliable and stable, relatively valid, relatively unaffected by biases, seen as useful by faculty as feedback about teaching, seen by students as helpful in course selection, and helped administrators in personnel decisions. Three journal entries drew attention to students inability to be creative while working in groups as exemplified below: Sometimes, I cannot develop good ideas with a group of people; I cannot be creative in working with others in some cases. Lai, G., & Calandra, B. (2010). 36 0 obj Smith (1999) also describes research journals as an important part of enhancing ethical and methodologic rigour, but there much more to them than this, regardless of the rather positivistic terminology. But its important to not confuse these with diaries or journals which are given to participants as data collection of the lives and experiences of respondents. Students were in three different classes taught by three different teachers. But as Janesick (1998) notes, another important role is to refine the understanding of the responses of participants in the study, much like a physician or health care worker might do. Teachers comprehension checking is another favoured strategy expressed by forty-two journal entries as exemplified below: Teachers checking of our comprehension is very good and innovative because he makes sure that we have comprehended what he taught us by asking questions.

As shown in Table 1, seventy-eight EFL female students majoring in English, representing seven nationalities, participated voluntarily in the current study.

For example, Watson (Citation2010) conducted a study to explore the use of reflective journals as an intervention strategy to improve twenty-five failing students understanding of the different expository methods employed as part of the academic writing course for six weeks. Another challenge is that when students write their reflective journals, they take into consideration what their teachers like to read, to get a high mark (Crme, Citation2005). In addition, many student journals have been perceived as descriptive with limited reflection (Jensen & Joy, Citation2005; Minott, Citation2008; Wessel & Larin, Citation2006). Purposeful sampling and accessibility criterion (Silverman, Citation2001) were used as all 78 students in the three different classes signed an informed consent form and agreed to participate in the current study voluntarily. However, the current research bridges the gap in the literature by exploring the impact of students reflective journals on informing instructional practices in an EFL writing context at a university in Qatar. First, reflection is a complex, rigorous, intellectual, and emotional enterprise that takes time to do well (Rodgers, Citation2002, p. 845). View journal writing as a type of connoisseurship by which individuals become connoisseurs of their own thinking and reflection patterns, and indeed their own understanding of their work as qualitative researchers. Some researchers used reflective journals to develop an understanding of students learning and course revision (Power, Citation2012; Watson, Citation2010). He always uses mocking phrases such as really. Reflective journals are personal records of students' learning experiences. Forty-five students clarified how the teacher makes fun of them in class as exemplified below: What I do not like about our professor is that he mocks me when I answer a question incorrectly. The first paper takes the form of an interview where Parlo Singh reflects on her own research trajectory in the field of teacher education.

Findings also showed students reported challenges such as strict classroom management, lack of teachers electronic feedback, teachers frequent questioning, recurrent turn-taking, time mismanagement, lack of handouts, cooperative learning problems, mocking students, ringing mobile phones, unpunctual students and dealing with disruptive students. Also, students data was kept in a safe place and used for research purposes anonymously as real names were replaced by a number in all journal entries. These phrases demotivate me from answering questions in class.

Among the different reflection models in the literature (Gibbs reflective cycle, Atkins & Murphy, Citation1994; Bass, Fenwick, & Sidebotham, Citation2017, Citation1988; Johns, Citation1994), I chose Gibbs reflective cycle as it helps students think systematically about the different stages of their learning experience (Helyer, Citation2015).
