SEFI@work: Exploring Reflective diaries using Thematic Analysis

SEFI@work session of the series Research Methods in Engineering Education, organized by the SEFI SIG Engineering Education Research

Speaker: Patric Wallin, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway patric.wallin@ntnu.no

Patric Wallin will present highlights of the work published in the European Journal of Engineering Education “The reflective diary as a method for the formative assessment of self-regulated learning” by Wallin and Adawi. From reflective diaries and formative assessment practice to the use of thematic analysis to explore aspects of self-regulation, we expect the audience to engage in the discussions and find take-home messages related to the topic and the research methods discussed.

General information on the Engineering Education Research Methods, SEFI@work sessions 2022.

In 2022 the SEFI SIG on Engineering Education Research organizes three SEFI@Work sessions focusing on research methods in Engineering Education Research. These sessions will give the floor to a researcher that will share a high-impact publication with solid methodological foundations, and we will challenge them to share their experiences with the applied methods in order to support the research within our SEFI community. 

These sessions of the series Research Methods in Engineer Education, will allow you to:

• Get “insight” information on essential research methods for engineering education connected to a key publication within engineering education research, such that you can discover how the research methods were applied in well-recognized research.
• Give you insights in research methods you can’t get from a textbook but that you would share with colleagues within a research team or center.
• Get to know well-respected researchers and authors in Engineering Education.
• Connect with people working on similar topics or using similar methods to your own research.
