Abstract

In this contribution a study on the combined effects of two approaches to reflect and the perceived importance of reflection on in-depth reflection is reported. 37 pre-service teachers participated. Results show that students score higher on in-depth reflection when they use the ALACT model of Korthagen than when they reflect by writing a digital story. Results also reveal an effect of perceived importance of reflection; when students perceived reflection as important, they score higher on in-depth reflection then when they find reflection less important. We also establish an interaction between approach and the perceived importance of reflection on in-depth reflection. A profile plot shows that when students use digital storytelling to reflect, the interaction of perceived importance of reflection and approach on in-depth reflection is smaller than when they reflect with the ALACT model. This – so we assume - can be reduced to the fact that digital storytelling was a new approach for the students.
