Schön's Theory of Reflection

Schön's Theory of Reflection emphasizes that professionals learn and improve by thoughtfully considering their experiences. When faced with challenges, they reflect both during (on-the-spot and in the moment) and after their actions, critically analyzing what worked and what didn’t. This reflective process helps them develop better strategies and deeper understanding, fostering continuous growth and adaptability in their practice. Essentially, Schön highlights that real learning occurs through active thinking about one's experiences, enabling professionals to become more effective and insightful over time.
