Vlogging as a Tool in the Self-Reflective Journey: Professional Identity Development as a Space Between
Brott, Pamelia E.; Willis, David A.
SAGE Open, v11 n4 Oct-Dec 2021
The authors present an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) case study used to uncover the meaning-making system of professional identity development experienced by a graduate student completing a two-semester school counseling internship. The intern engaged in critical self-reflections as weekly vloggings, which are single-turn video monologs. The rigor of IPA allowed the researchers to explore the intern's personal reflexivity as a space between what the intern was doing and his process of becoming a professional. The super-ordinate theme that emerged from the analysis in this case study was "connecting the dots. . .it's all about the kids." Findings from this research have implications in higher education and professional studies for creating a transformative learning environment and engaging individuals in the professional identity development process.
