Hegarty, B. (2011) A Framework to Guide Professional Learning and Reflective Practice. NR01: University of Wollongong doctoral thesis. 425 pages. Empirical qualitative research using case study methodology. An intervention, the Three-Step Reflective Framework, was developed and used to scaffold practitioners’ reflective writing for an electronic portfolio used in their professional learning. This research study contributes to the literature on reflection, professional learning and reflective practice, and the importance of scaffolding reflective writing. The framework is used in tertiary education programmes in education and health and in research. One examiner recommended that the thesis receive a commendation because it contributes to a field of study that is exceptionally innovative and original. It is suitable for publication in an esteemed book or refereed journal of high repute, and it is amongest the best thesis she has ever read.
Hegarty, B. (2011) How teachers use blogs for professional development and enhancing digital capability. NR03: Paper in the proceedings of the inaugural International Conference on eLearning Futures 2011. It ran from 30 November to 2nd December, 2011. Available at: http://www.icelf.org/programme/ Reviewer comment: "This is a well written paper about an area of pedagogy that has become increasingly mainstream and is therefore worthy of discussion at a conference such as ICELF. The author has several years of experience of using various tools for on line pedagogy and has some useful suggestions and ideas for others who might wish to follow a similar path. It serves to provide a snapshot of practice in a particular context and may therefore provide value to the educational community."
