Reflective practice has become an integral component of computer-based educational learning systems to develop preservice teachers' critically reflective thinking capability. Recently, design-based research has demonstrated its potential as a methodology suitable to guide the research and design of technology-enhanced learning environments. Guided by Ma and Harmon's (2009) detailed design-based research process, this case study presents an iteration of a project on how to embed computer-based scaffolds (question prompts and writing process display) in a technology-enhanced educational assessment system to facilitate preservice teachers' online reflective journal writing. Rapid prototyping was adopted as the development method of the Web-based scaffolds. Explanatory mixed-methods design served as the research methodology. Both quantitative and qualitative results revealed that the scaffolds did enhance preservice teachers' critically reflective thinking capability in the simulated system. A few design principles were generated hoping to guide those interested in working with the computer-based scaffolds tailored for reflective practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
