The purpose of this study was to examine how four teachers used the seven processes of videotape analysis to develop an analytic approach and reflective thinking towards their teaching. The study was organized within video clubs and was used to describe the interactions among four teachers about their experiences at a language institute. Data were gathered through videotaped recordings of lesso...

Since version 1.1 of the Java Development Kit, the Java reflective facilities have been successively extended. However, they still prove to be limited. A number of systems (e.g. MetaXa, Guaraná, Kava, Javassist) have addressed this limitation by providing reflective extensions of Java with richer MetaObject Protocols (MOPs). All these extensions provide a particular, monolithic, infrastructure ...

Parental reflective functioning refers to the capacity for a parent to understand their own and their infant's mental states, and how these mental states relate to behavior. Higher levels of parental reflective functioning may be associated with greater sensitivity to infant emotional signals in fostering adaptive and responsive caregiving. We investigated this hypothesis by examining associati...

In this work we hypothesize that giving students a reflective reading after spoken dialog tutoring in qualitative physics will improve learning. The reading is designed to help students compare similar aspects of previously tutored problems, and to abstract their commonalities. We also hypothesize that student motivation will affect how well the text is processed, and so influence learning. We ...

we studied the effects of using reflective action approach (raa) on critical thinking of students and teachers. the research method was a semi-experimental and factorial design (2×2). the subjects were 93 students from tabriz teachers education colleges of which 46 students and teachers (24 female and 22 male) formed the experimental group to receive raa and 47 students and teachers (25 female ...

Research has shown that reflective practice can lead to a teacher’s improved understanding and practice of pedagogy, classroom management, and professionalism (Grossman, 2003). Considering the benefits of reflective practice, there is a need to further develop a more effective and efficient process that encourages reflective practice. Recent technological video advancements have provided tools ...

The argument of theoretical disagreement has been deemed the most serious contemporary challenge to traditional views law, not merely for academic legal positivists but all lawyers and scholars. Although coined by Ronald Dworkin specific purpose opposing conventionalist positivist theories recognises general truth that jurisprudence is an inevitably agonistic enterprise. Nowadays, it one discus...

This paper reports on the descriptive results of an experiment comparing automatically detected reflective and not-reflective texts against human judgements. Based on the theory of reflective writing assessment and their operationalisation five elements of reflection were defined. For each element of reflection a set of indicators was developed, which automatically annotate texts regarding refl...

Reflective function refers to the capacity to reflect on the mind of self and others in the context of the attachment relationship. Reflective function (and its conceptual neighbor, mentalizing) has been shown to be an important correlate of a variety of disorders, including borderline personality disorder (BPD). The current study examined the construct validity of the Reflective Function Quest...
