MIT 11.965 Reflective Practice - Lecture 4: Theories, Knowledge and Practice

Sat, 16 Jun 2012 07:03:04 GMT

MIT 11.965 Reflective Practice: An Approach for Expanding Your Learning Frontiers, IAP 2007

View the complete course: http://ocw.mit.edu/11-965IAP07

Instructor: Ceasar McDowell, Claudia Canepa, Sebastiao Ferriera

The course is an introduction to the approach of Reflective Practice developed by Donald Schön. It is an approach that enables professionals to understand how they use their knowledge in practical situations and how they can combine practice and learning in a more effective way. Through greater awareness of how they deploy their knowledge in practical situations, professionals can increase their capacities of learning in a more timely way. Understanding how they frame situations and ideas helps professionals to achieve greater flexibility and increase their capacity of conceptual innovation.

The objective of the course is to introduce students to the approach and methods of reflective practice by raising their awareness about their own cognitive resources and how they use them in their practice. The course will introduce theories of learning, knowledge generation, framing and reframing, theories of action, reflection-in-practice, and conceptual innovation, and provide students with opportunities to experiment with these theories in real life through practical exercises in which they reflect on real situations that they have faced in their past professional experience. Through these practical exercises, students will have the opportunity to reflect on their thinking capacities in the context of their practice.

This MIT SSP IAP event, held on January 15, 2009, features MIT Security Studies experts Cindy Williams, Owen Cote, Harvey Sapolsky, and CIS Wilhelm Fellow, Admiral William Fallon. The panelists review the key spending, weapons system, and doctrinal issues facing the Secretary of Defense. The U.S. is now spending nearly 700 billion dollars a year on defense, including the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet knowledgeable observers agree that the Department of Defense has not budgeted sufficient funds to cover its plans for the next five years.
