This research examines ways of expressing ideas and the effectiveness of learning outcomes during virtual learning through the use of Visible Thinking Routines and Instructional Based Routines.
Data was collected through a survey for students to reflect about their learning progress and creative expressions. 10 first-year students majoring in Furniture & Spatial Design were involved in this study.
A comparison of students’ cognitive and engagement presence was made between the physical learning routines (in Weeks 1 and 2) and virtual learning routines (in Weeks 3 to 12).
Results show that there was a slight increase in thinking and engagement using Visible Thinking routines in the virtual learning environment. Students were also able to understand the perspectives of their peers in the online environment.
