The study's data-collection and instructional toolkit comprised four named assignments plus reflective journals, think-aloud protocols, and reflective reading and discussions. The "My identity wheel" activity asked students to draw their identity wheel and how it changed from high school to university; the "Reflective description" assignment described objects used in English classes or daily routine; the "Professional development context" assignment had students examine their professional identity from a distance; and "Past products reflection" asked for a holistic picture of past learning with future implications.
