title = "Designing for Self-awareness: Supporting Students{\textquoteright} Reflexive Interactions Based on Photos",
abstract = "Educators in professional higher education experience difficulties addressing students{\textquoteright} self-awareness in their courses. The topic is often dismissed by students as {\textquoteleft}vague{\textquoteright} or {\textquoteleft}irrelevant{\textquoteright}. This is detrimental for learning since knowing who you are and who you want to be is crucial: it guides behaviour and helps to feel balanced and in control. Support is needed to trigger students{\textquoteright} self-awareness and to make this process less demanding. In this paper we present guidelines for interactive triggers supporting students in developing their self-awareness. We asked students to discuss self-made photos in small groups and offered them three paper prototypes of triggers to work with. Questionnaire results and analysis of students{\textquoteright} discussions resulted in insights on how these triggers provoke distinct interaction and support self-awareness. Insights in advantages and disadvantages of the triggers can be used to design and implement innovative interactive systems that engage students in the process of developing self-awareness.",
