Kinsella articles

Elizabeth Kinsella in her two articles on Schon's Reflective Practice arrives at several conclusions that work for me in applying this pretty ethereal concept in practice. Much of professional practice done by a person who has worked in the field for a long time is "tacit" knowledge; this unspoken action that has substance underlying it is the most difficult thing to relay to students. In nursing we have used the term "informed intuition" which of course makes my students roll their eyes and sigh deeply but now I feel I have something to support that statement with.
