Document Summary

Transformative experiences: an event that becomes such an intense learning experience that our thinking, behavior and perspectives are dramatically changed: characterized by a nonlinear progression whereby one person is transformed by one state to the next. Is a second-order developmental change, that we hope to achieve with young people. First-order developmental change: incremental and gradual change that occurs through the application over time to second-order developmental change. Reflection in practice: focus on the doing or experience of practice by focusing in the moment on their awareness of the action or the mental processes that are unfolding. Reflection on practice: help review and explore an event that has happened in light of new concepts. Reflection for practice: consider how to apply the concepts to practice scenarios and will prepare practitioners for their own practice. Think about it : exercises a theory-in action questions to reinforce the theoretical and conceptual ideas by asking practitioners to look for theory explicitly in practice.
