Birds of a feather flock together: A collaborative reflection
Abstract
As Malay language teachers for special education, our shared goal is to teach students to read and write based on Malay grammar. To achieve this, we are currently conducting collaborative insider action research focused on a digital storytelling project, building upon our previous study. This article serves as a collaborative reflection during the study, reflecting on and discussing the development of our work values and professional learning experiences.
