Reflectivity refers to the process by which the student, and the educator, reflects on their learning experiences, interactions with others, and the content. They reflect on these experiences in relation to oneself as a learner and the projected self as an entrepreneur or a professional. Hence, it includes a social, environmental, and pedagogical aspects.
So far, the application of reflectivity in the classroom has been limited due to difficulties in assessing them and the time they consume. Consequently, they received little attention on research on entrepreneurship education, except for the nascent field of entrepreneurial identity and personality. However, with the rise in technology and artificial intelligence, educators are exploring alternative approaches to assess their students’ learning gains. Reflectivity has shown some promise toward fulfilling this role. When applied as a teaching method, it can also support the realization of some learning outcomes as well.
METHOD
The research assistant is expected to review the literature on reflectivity in education, with a specific focus on entrepreneurship education. The purpose is to form a comprehensive account of literature on this specific topic which covers its theoretical foundations, applications in education (assessment, teaching method, etc.), research methods used to investigate it in literature, main findings, limitations and future research possibilities.
On top of that, the research assistant is expected to produce a research translation, based on the results of his work and the research that is already available. A research translation is a short practitioner (educator) oriented piece of work, 500 – 800 words long that convey some of the more professionally appealing insights from the research. It is recommended that the research assistant make use of available AI tools to support with this task.
