Vocational Education Practitioners Learning to Write Reflective Journal through Reflections on their Experiences during theCovid-19 Pandemic
Abstract
In the vocational education context, typical teaching and learning patterns are getting obsolete, and new innovative methods are being adopted to make the learning process more effective. Among improved methods, reflective practices and reflective journal writing are being adopted frequently for continuous improvement. The practice of reflective journal writing has the potential to change the dynamics of vocational education. Six different types of reflective journal writing are observed and discussed in this research study with the aim to explore the participants’ preferences for a certain type of journal writing in addition to their reflections on teaching experiences during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The participants view reflective practices and reflective journal writing to be major breakthroughs for improving teachers’ self-efficacy as well as for enhancing their roles for the better quality of vocational training delivery. It is argued that the expected benefits of encouraging the culture for writing reflective journals do not only benefit the journal writers, but it can be very useful in providing an agenda for the organization for its continuous improvement.
