ABSTRACT
In many forms of inquiry, the person doing the inquiring acts as an observer, mentally standing outside the process in order to describe it objectively, and thus more accurately, according to traditional science. Here we are assuming
that a subjective, individual experience, such as social learning, can be described more validly and accurately through the people involved reflecting on their experiences (van Manen, 1990). In this chapter, the five members of the organizing group for this book reflect, individually and together, on the dimensions of social learning involved in preparing the book.
