Reflecting on the future

"Schon talks of reflection being thoughtful about the past (on-action)

and present (in-action), but making predictions seems closer to Dewey's

idea of reflection as thoughtful activity that informs future

actions/conclusions..?" (I like this comment from SG listserv - jhabgood@blueyonder.co.uk).  I like this because it reminds me that reflection isn't just backward. I think this is a draw back of Schon - there is an implication that you should start with your practice.  Sometimes you don't really have one to start with - and if so, you have to come up with a theory to inform future practice instead.,/span>
