Reflection legacy from John Dewey to Donald Schön

Reflection Legacy

John DeweyHow We Think (1933)Education and ExperienceReflective thinking

Reflective thinkingInitial stage: State of doubt/perplexity/uncertaintyAct of inquiry to understand nature of the problem

Suspense of the uncertaintyAction – deliberate action

Donald Schon

Reflective Practitioner (1983)Educating the Reflective Practitioner (1987)The Reflective Turn (1991)Argument:

Dominant Model of Professional KnowledgeTechnical rationality

Swampy lowland of practiceDemanded reflection-in-action

Jesuits: Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm (1540 – Ignatius of Loyola)

Context(where)

Experience(what)

Reflection(why/how)

Action(what next)

Evaluation(how well)

Theory in Practice (Argyris and Schon, 1974 and 1991)

What is professional competence?How is competence learned?How can professional education be redesigned to develop competent practice?

Schön’s research: Reflective practice(Harris I, 1993)

What is the nature of professional practice?What knowledge and competencies are needed?What are the possibilities for codifying professional practice?What modes of education are appropriate for professional practice?

Schön assumptions

Knowing-in-action (tacit knowing)Everyday knowledge used by skilled practitioners

Reflection-in-action and reflection-about-action

Both central to the art or way in which practitioners deal with uncertainty

Schön assumptions

Reflection is a critical skill for developing expertiseGoal of practice is WISE action

Use of specialized knowledgeAlong with practical knowledge (know-how)

Knowing-in-actionRequires reflective competenciesReflection-in-action and Reflection-about-action

Schön’s Case Studies on Practice

Professional develop practical knowledgeBY practicing their practice

Declarative knowledge (knowing that)Facts, theories

Procedural knowledge (knowing how)How to do something – knowledge in practice

Professional Education Clinical Practice

Declarative Knowledge

When someone reflects-in-action, he becomes a researcher in the practice context… thinking is notseparated from doing… his experimenting is a kind of action…built into his inquiry…. (Schon, 1983)

Reflection (Mezirow, 1990; 1995,2000; Musolino/Mostrom, 2005; Kitchenham, 2008)

Reflection: examination of justification for beliefs that guide action/reassess efficacy of strategies and procedures; necessary for self-evaluationCritical reflection: assessment of the validity of assumptions or presuppositions of one’s own meaning perspectives, sources and consequencesCritical self-reflection: examination of one’s own meaning perspectives

Reflection (Eva/Regeher, 2008)

Reflection: a conscious and deliberate reininvestment of mental energy aimed at exploring and elaborating one’s understanding of the problem one is facing rather than just trying to solve the problem

Sorting out Terms

Meta-cognition: thinking about your thinking; to critically review one’s own assumptions or beliefs and feeling about feelingSelf-assessment: overall personal judgment of one’s ability versus awareness in the moment or when a current situation is not going wellSelf-monitoring: self-awareness – in the moment – when something is not going well; slowing down when one should

Strategies for Self-Reflection(Meta-cognition)

THINK about your THINKINGStructureCollaboration“Never satisfied”Self-knowledgeHabits of mind

Self-Monitoring (Epstein, Siegel, Silberman 2008; Eva, Regehr, 2007;McConnell, Regehr, Wood, Eva,

2012)

Ability to attend moment to moment to our own actionsCuriosity to examine the effects of those actionsWillingness to use observations to improve behavior or patterns of thinking in the futureAbility to self-monitor performance in the moment of action is critical for safe, effective care

Reflection and Expertise

Is reflection a non-negotiable ability for the development of expertise?

Knowledge

Skills

Judgment

Thinking

Better memory?

More experience?

Motivation?

Method of expertise?

Expert-like novices?

Capacity for Expertise:Challenging the Assumptions/Stereotypes

Must experts be specialists?Is expertise just another word for problem solving?Is there a method of expertise?Is expertise a characteristic of careers or people?Can you have “expert like” novices?

Shared Characteristics of Experts(Ericsson, Charness, Feltovich, Hoffman; 2006; Benner 1984,1999; Chi,Glaser, Farr. 1988; Ericsson, 2009)

Bring more organized knowledge to the problemCan figure things out – can detect and recognize deep structure of the situationAnalyze a problem qualitatively Self- monitoring - can self-correct (reflection-in-action) Develop skills through intense, focused practiceInsightful -- see entire problem/context

Experts can fall short(Ericsson, Charness, Feltovich, Hoffman; 2006)

Domain specificityOverly confidentMay miss surface detailsContextual cues limited to the domain of expertiseTendency for inflexibilityInaccurate prediction of novice performance

Expertise: Current thinking…(Boshuizen, Bromme, Gruber, 2004; Ericsson, 2009; Bereiter, Scardamalia, 1993)

Expertise is more of a process or continuum of developmentNot a static state through gathering years of experienceExpertise as a CHARACTERISTIC of a career rather than a person…

The problem is not how to turn novices into experts faster…but to ensure that novices develop into experts rather than experienced nonexperts

The career of the expert is one of progressively advancing on the problem constituting a field of work,

whereas

The career of the nonexpert is one of graduallyconstricting the field of work so that it more closely conforms to the routines the nonexpert is prepared to do Bereiter and Scardamalia

Flexible or Adaptive ExpertiseWhat is flexible expertise? Flexible or adaptive expertise - Focus on DEVELOPMENTEmphasis on Flexibility and Innovation There is more to expertise than KNOWLEDGE

Precursors for Development of Flexible EXPERTISE(Bereiter and Scardamalia, 1993; Birney, Beckmann, Wood, 2012)

Self-reflection (meta-cognitive skills)“self-regulatory knowledge or metacognition”

Knowledge that controls the application of other knowledge

Teaching/learning reflectionRequires educators to engage in reflection

Levels of Reflection(van Manen, 1977)

CriticalWhat ought to be?

InterpretiveWhat does this mean?

What is? How to?Knowing about or how

Reflective practice: “slow down”(Moulton C, Regehr G, Mylopoulos M, MacRae ; 2007; McConnell M, Regehr G, Wood T. ; 2012)

Self-monitoring in practiceSlowing down for situational awareness can avoid potential errorsPaying attention

Moment to moment self-monitoring is distinct from “summative self-assessment” and more accurate

Reflective PracticeBehaviors/Reasoning Processes (Mamede, Schmidt , 2004, 2005;Mamede, Schmidt, Rikers; 2006)

Meta-reasoningOpenness for reflectionDeliberate deductionDeliberate inductionTesting and synthesizing

Reflective Practice: Reasoning Processes

Meta-reasoning: ability to reflect on own thinking processOpenness towards reflection: as a means of solving patient problems

Reflective Practice: Reasoning Processes

Deliberate induction: response to a difficult situation – seeking alternative explanationsDeliberate deduction: tendency to deduce from alternative explanations new predictions that could be testedTest/synthesis: willingness to test predictions and synthesize new understandings

Shulman: Connecting Learning and Experience(2004,pg 19)

One does not learn from experience alone but from reflection on the experience…The great challenges for professional learning is that experience occurs where design and intention and collide with chance. Without the violation of expectations, it is impossible to learn from experience.

Where do we go from here??

Change our perspective……

Reflective Questions(Epstein, 2008)

If there were data I ignored, what might they be?What about this situation was surprising or unexpected?Did I avoid premature closure?Is there another way I could formulate the patient’s story or my response?

Reflective Questions(Epstein, 2008)

What are important aspects of the situation that differ from previous situations? How might prior experiences be affecting my response?What would a trusted peer say about how I am managing or feeling about this situation?Can I SIFT my mind and examine (Sensations, Images, Feelings, Thoughts)

Strategies to get the inside outBridge learning research and teaching(Ambrose, Bridges, DePietro, Lovett, Norman, 2010)

Tools for finding out how student organize knowledge

Concept mapsOrganizational structures

Models to help students monitor and control their learning

Check for understandingEvaluate strengths and weaknessesFreedom to create own plan

Opportunity for Interprofessional Educational Research
