Description
In the second chapter, Yükselir and Korucu-Kıs present their study on exploring the pre-service teachers’ reflective inquiry skills, specifically focusing on digital technologies, and how developing reflective thinking in an online-education setting can improve cognitive presence. Throughout the chapter, the authors seek to understand the relationship between level of reflective thinking and cognitive presence, and the data analysis clearly points to a positive correlation between the two. The chapter carries important implications for pre-service teacher education contexts, by highlighting the mutual influences of reflective thinking and cognitive presence.
