Case studies delivered in the online discussion environment offer many benefits for adult learners, including development as a reflective practitioner. The online case-based discussion helps learners develop into reflective practitioners and understand the finer points as to why things are done rather than simply how they are done. This approach is an effective tool for adult learners to enhance their ability to address ill-structured problems, those that are complex and controversial in nature. They become adept at engaging in salient dialogue, which, in turn, expands their reflective thinking skills. This chapter, grounded in a heutagogical approach, explores the use of the case studies in an online discussion format to promote reflective judgment capabilities. Focus is placed on the function and structure of online case-based discussions and methods for assessing learning outcomes.

The study aimed to investigate the learning experiences of the students as they get involved in an Online Discussion Forum (ODF) using the asynchronous format and focuses on the interrelation of factors such as students’ academic self-efficacy, motivation, reflective thinking, attitude towards social networking, and facilitating discourse. Furthermore, the study sought to recommend a model design that may lead to instrument enrichment through virtual learning network. To evaluate the learning experiences of students from ODF, a descriptive correlational design was used. It was conducted using a social networking discussion forum that was assessed as the available and commonly used site. Students were given a week to answer open-ended questions/topics that were posted in the ODF and the mechanics was explained in a live classroom. A total of 183 functional responses were collected for the study. Respondents were not aware that they are under a study to encourage them to work at their pace and interest. After the ODF, the instructor administered the survey questionnaire, and interviews were also made as part of course evaluation. The result revealed that only three variables specifically academic self-efficacy, reflective thinking, and motivation in participating in ODF, tends to predict perceived learning experiences. The proposed model was created to support several discussion forums by several moderator accounts. The model may support interconnection among moderators, contributors and registered users. Expanding the network model will serve as a basis for university-wide virtual learning network.   Keywords - Educational Technology, online discussion forum, descriptive-correlational design, Philippines

The research reveals a profile of reflective thinking of elementary school students in problem solving fractions based on his mathematical abilities. The instruments used in data collection is Test Problem Solving (TPM), interview. Selection of research subjects in a way given test is based on the ability of mathematics, namely mathematical skills of high, medium and low and further categorized and taken at least 2 people to serve as subjects. The research objective is: describe the profile of reflective thinking that math skills of elementary school students High, medium, and low. Based on the results of the study found reflective thinking profile and high ability students were as follows: (a) the step to understand the problems students have information/knowledge or data that is used to respond, comes from inside (internal) and can explain what has been done; (B) the planned step problem solving students have information/knowledge or data that is used to respond, comes from inside (internal) and can explain what has been done; (C) on measures to implement the plan in terms of information/knowledge or data used by students to respond, comes from inside (internal), could explain what has been done, realized the error and fix it, and communicate ideas with a symbol or image, and (d) the checking step back, namely information/knowledge or data that is used by students to respond, comes from inside (internal) and can explain what has been done. Profile of reflective thinking ability students lowly mathematics, namely: (a) at the stage of understanding the problem, students can determine known and asked in the problem, but the students' difficulties to explain the identification of the facts that have been done, the students explained the understanding vocabulary, and feel of existing data the matter is enough; (B) at the stage of implementing the plan, the students explained, organize and represent data on the issue, describes how to select the operation in solving a problem though students are not sure, and students' difficulty in explaining what he had done; (C) at the stage of implementing the plan, the student has information on calculation skills although the answer is not correct. Students difficulty in explaining about the skills calculations have been done, trying to communicate their ideas in the form of symbols or images, even if students rather difficult to describe, and realized there was an error when using a calculation skills and improve it; (D) at the stage of check, students' difficulties in explaining whether obtained estimates it approached, it makes senseKeywords: reflective thinking, problem solving, fractions, and math skills.
