ABSTRACT
The work of Donald Schön was discussed in the previous chapter. As we have seen, it has been the inspiration of much work on reflective practice in the professions and, hence, provides a prelude for looking at reflective practice in broader terms. Two points are worth noting here about some of the work that emanated from that of Schön. First, there is a tendency for interpretations of reflection-on-action to be broader than Schön's own use of the term. Second, there has been a tendency to adopt Schön's model as ‘fact’ and theorize on this basis rather than treat the model as speculative.
