Reflexivity in Vlogging the Creative Process:An Action Research Project

This action research project investigates the reflective benefits of vlogging
for fine art students in a bachelor’s program in the Philippines. While the
notion surfaced during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the realization of
the study became more explicit in the latter part of the global condition. Online arts
learning impeded the material aspect of artmaking, which made the instruction difficult
for both the students and the teacher. Amid the challenges posed by the physicality
of art, the study explores how vlogging aids in understanding the creative
process. Conducted over three weeks, the project involved students documenting
and reflecting on their experiences, with evidence gathered through records, interviews,
and focus group discussions. Vlogging not only acquainted students with
their art journey but also enhanced productivity and fostered knowledge-sharing,
encouraging fellow students to improve their work. The study provides valuable
insights for educators and students alike, helping them prepare for future similar
circumstances.
