Abstract
Reflective practice is the skill of being able to monitor and evaluate one’s own behaviour and practice critically as a learning experience. By distancing oneself towards one’s own performance an increased awareness of relevancy and scope is gained. This knowledge is important as real-life situations are often messy and uninterpretable at first glance, which makes the application of systematic approaches challenging. By being in constant conversation with the context, one’s past experiences and behaviour understanding can be achieved and theories become applicable once again. Therefore it’s a crucial competence to any professional dealing with high levels of complexity or uncertainty.
By utilizing reflective practice, one moves from otherwise inexplainable professional artistry to repeatable, developable rationale. This is achieved by utilizing a constant cycle of experimentation and reflection. While drawing upon the present and past situations solutions and decisions unique to the experienced context, can be created. Through this kind of active inquiry, the professional will then move tacit knowledge, otherwise indescribable, towards conscious thought processes.
Introduction
While being an important skill for every position, like mentioned, it’s most critical in situations of high uncertainty. Traditionally developed and used in medical science and arts it's fundamentally applicable to any position where the context provides complexity beyond systematic approaches.
This article will cover the fundamental theory of reflective practice, its history and its application in current occupations
Big idea
Theory
What is:
- Professional artistry → designers intuition, quick responses
- Knowing-in-action(Schön)/tacit knowledge(Michael Polanyi)
- Reflection-in/on-action
History
Inherent tie to education (Taught systematic approaches that don't work in complex real-life practices)
Limitations
