Özet

Reflective practice (RP) is a cornerstone of teacher professional development, yet reflection activities in teacher education often remain descriptive and purely individual. Learning management systems (LMS) are increasingly utilized for collaborative learning; however, they are frequently under-investigated as tools for authentic reflection. In response to this gap, this chapter proposes a model that integrates collaborative RP within a Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework. The study explores how collaborative CoI-informed reflection in LMS can improve second language teachers’ reflection skills. The findings suggest that participants’ reflections appeared to shift from mainly narrative and affective reporting toward more analytic pedagogical reasoning. Furthermore, the availability of peer interaction fostered professional trust, while structured feedback design enhanced the depth of pedagogical critique. By using LMS as “reflective infrastructures”, this chapter suggests ways for incorporating RP into online teacher education through the CoI framework.
