Reflections of Health Care Workers on Their In-Hospital Experiences During the Onset of COVID-19
Abstract
Identity formation is central to positive adolescent development as young learners navigate collaborative, educational environments (McLean & Breen, 2009). A positive personal identity is associated with increased subjective well-being, positive academic self-concepts, and a stronger sense of agency (Booker et al., 2021; Ricks et al., 2021). Adolescents spend a significant portion of their development in educational spaces. As a result, it is vital to identify how adolescents develop a stronger sense of self in academic environments by presenting collaborative, learning opportunities. In this paper, we seek to evaluate various themes of identity development through the lens of self-authorship and agency by analyzing individual reflective interviews of adolescent learners.
