Public Reflection as the Basis of Learning

Joseph A. Raelin

The Wallace E. Carroll School of Management, Boston College, USA, raelin{at}bc.edu

It is through public reflection that we may create a collective identity as a community of inquiry. But how does public reflection differ from introspection, and how does it contribute to self and organizational learning? In this article, the author uncovers the many traditions which constitute the process of critical reflective practice, as may be practiced as part of a project-based learning experience. After defining the concept, the article illustrates why reflection is fundamental to learning and how it can be brought out in the company of trusted others through dialogue. The article goes on to illuminate the relationships between public reflection and the common good, experience, and time, as well as to characterize the skills associated with reflective practice.

Key Words: action learning • critical consciousness • dialogue • knowledge management • reflective practice • work-based learning
