Abstract

This session will present a study that investigates the use of poetry as a reflective tool for first-year undergraduate students in introductory STEM courses. Using poetic content analysis (Illingworth, 2022), the study analyses students’ responses to a poetic prompt to better understand their course experiences. The session will discuss the major categories that emerged from the analysis and highlight the extent to which poetry can be used as a powerful tool to aid student reflection.
