Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The paper describes Schon's ideal learning environment, the practicum, in which teacher and student confront real problems in a secure, almost-real setting and grow together through dialogue. In the design studio, 'The established challenging design problem here serves as a thematic organizer'; the teacher's design-review responses are modeling demonstrations of reflection-in-action that students may adopt, and students grasp the process through reflection-on-action.
