Yadav, D. K. and Bhatia, D. (2022) Effect of reflective practices on student learning in higher education—a real life approach. International Journal of Educational Reform, (doi: 10.1177/10567879221094298) (Early Online Publication)

Abstract

Validation of ideas are of paramount importance in STEM fields. Learning and converting ideas into practical application is the main purpose of technical education. Aviation is a highly safety sensitive field where confusion and mistakes are not acceptable. This brings serious challenges for academia that provides higher education in this field. A yearlong observation of the reflective practices was done at an Australian university while teaching aviation students to analyse outcomes of reflection on teaching and learning. Reflection provides a powerful opportunity to a teacher in improving teaching qualities and to identify training needs for enhancing teaching capabilities.
