Document Summary
Learning through reflection on experience is a framework for learning to handle conflict that"s based on marsick and watkin"s model of informal and incidental learning. John dewey examined the way in which past actions guide future actions. Observed that when people don"t achieve desired results, they attend to the resulting. Error or mismatch between intended and actual outcomes. Under dewey"s theory, learning takes place as people reinterpret their experience in light of a growing, cumulative set of insights and then revise their actions to meet their goals. In terms of learning how to handle conflict, dewey"s theory reminds us that people can. And do alter how they handle conflict over time, adjusting their behaviors to yield better results. His approach doesn"t shed light on why changing those behaviors is sometimes so difficult for so many people. Jack mezirow: critical reflection to discover habits of mind .
