Abstract
When Donald Schön published his landmark book, The Reflective Practitioner , he set off a cottage industry in the professions. This chapter examines the growth and development of reflective practice specifically in the field of education. It begins with Dewey, includes Lawrence Stenhouse and the teacher as researcher movement in the UK, touches on the German Didactik tradition and examines Joseph Schwab’s contributions through his groundbreaking essays on “the practical” in the US. Along the way, related research undertaken at the interface of curriculum and teaching is reviewed. Also, a narrative exemplar illuminating how reflective practice has played out within the context of school reform over the past decade in the US is featured. Lastly, three issues specific to reflective practice in the teaching profession are highlighted.
