Reflection in the EE
•Reflection in the EE focuses on the student’s progress during the planning, research and writing process. It is intended to help
students with the development of their EE as well as allowing them the opportunity consider the effectiveness of their choices, to re-examine their ideas and decide whether changes are needed.
• The emphasis in the EE is on PROCESS reflection, characterized by reflecting on conceptual understandings, decision - making, engagement with data, the research process, time management, methodology, successes and challenges, and appropriate sources.
• Students will be encouraged to informally reflect throughout the experience of completing an EE, but are required to reflect formally during their reflection sessions with their supervisor and when completing the Reflections on Planning and Progress Form.
The role of reflection in the EE
•It is a critical evaluation of the thinking process;
•It demonstrates the discovery and evolution of conceptual
understandings;
•It demonstrates the rationale for decision-making;
•It demonstrates skills development;
•Effective reflection highlights the journey the student has taken
to engage in an intellectual and personal process.
•In the first reflection session this may include: initial topic
exploration; possible sources and methods; preliminary research
questions; and, personal reactions to the research topic.
•In the interim reflection session this may include: reactions to
readings; a timeline; a possible argument outline; setbacks and
strategies for dealing with them.
•In the final reflection, the viva voce, this may include: new
questions uncovered; what they have learnt about the topic and
their own learning; the significance of their research.
The supervisor writes her or his comments after conducting the viva voce with the student.
The comments are summative in nature. They should reflect the whole process and the student comments made in their reflection sessions—initial, interim and final (viva voce).
The examiner will assess the RPPF against criterion E (engagement), but the supervisor should not attempt to do the examiner’s job with her or his comments. The supervisor’s comments should provide supporting evidence and context for what the student has shown on the RPPF.
Criterion E (engagement) assesses the student’s engagement with the research focus and the research process. It will be applied by the examiner at the end of the assessment of the essay, after considering the student’s RPPF.
