由于学生熟悉这种类型的通信，社交媒体已被广泛用于高等教育的教育目的。作为最有趣的案例之一，Twitter经常被用于教师教育，用于多种目的。其中一个最未被探索的主题是使用Twitter的自反性的目的，其中讨论具有模糊和矛盾的结果是否这样一个简短的格式的特点可以促进自反性写作。本研究的目的是促进这一研究差距，并探讨了使用Twitter的反思性目标在教师教育的可能性，考虑到反思水平的学生的推文和学生的看法后，从事Twitter。为了评估这种反思，对推文文本和表情符号进行了内容分析，对其内容进行了编码，并开发了一种工具来评估其反思水平。此外，还通过在线调查收集了学生的看法。这项研究是嵌入在一个设计为基础的研究过程，已经在其第四个周期。研究结果表明，大多数推文是描述性或分析性的，推文主要是基于文本的。此外，数据显示，低级别的反射推文可能包括表情符号，这些表情符号主要是积极的，位于推文的末尾。结论表明，Twitter可能是更有用的反思时，在学习过程中，而不是学习。
Social media has been broadly used in the context of higher education for educational purposes due to students’ familiarity with this type of communication. As one of the most interesting cases, Twitter has often been used in teacher education for many purposes. One of the most unexplored themes is using Twitter for reflexive aims, in which discussions featuring ambiguous and contradictory results about whether the characteristics of such a short format can promote reflexive writing. This study is aimed at contributing to this research gap and explores the possibilities of using Twitter for reflective aims in teacher education, considering the reflective level of students’ tweets and students’ perceptions after engaging on Twitter. For the evaluation of this reflection, a content analysis of tweets texts and emojis has been carried out by coding their content and developing an instrument to assess their reflective level. Additionally, perceptions of students have been collected through an online survey. This study is embedded in a design-based research process that is already in its fourth cycle. Findings show that most tweets are descriptive or analytical, and that tweets are mainly text-based. Furthermore, the data show that low-level reflective tweets may include emojis, which are mainly positive and located at the end of a tweet. The conclusions suggest that Twitter could be more useful when reflections are made during learning rather than on learning.
