One of the first books of its kind in the field of health care. A great favorite of those who are being precepted or or preceptors. 4.5 stars

The concept of reflection-in-action has been very influential in contemporary design theory, even though Schön does not delimit himself to design but addresses all kinds of professional practice. This book is not only a useful summary of The reflective practitioner (1983) but also a discussion of what the model implies for education of skilled professionals.

If I ever go back into teaching at a university, I'll spend the first week there rereading this book, then another week thinking about it, and then bother with class design. Waking these kinds of skills in our students was *hard*, but their lack was one of the things that drove me from academia. ( )
