The Reflective Practitioner by Donald A. Schön

How Professionals Think in Action

This insightful work delves into the concept of reflective practice, emphasizing the importance of professionals engaging in a continuous learning process through reflection-in-action. It challenges traditional notions of technical rationality, proposing that real-world problem-solving often requires a more nuanced, context-sensitive approach. By examining how practitioners think on their feet and adapt to complex, unpredictable situations, the book highlights the value of experiential learning and the development of tacit knowledge, ultimately advocating for a more dynamic and responsive approach to professional practice.
