   Reflective Practice as the Epistemology of Design

   Led by Donald Schön Simulacrum

   The question

   Schön's reflective-practitioner framework applied to design. The module covers the four foundational concepts — *knowing-in-action* (the tacit knowledge practitioners use without articulating), *reflection-in-action* (in-the-moment reframing as you work), *reflection-on-action* (post-hoc reflection through journal-keeping), and *naming-and-framing* (how naming a problem determines what solutions are available). The reflective journal is set up as a sustained discipline. The student reads Schön's *The Reflective Practitioner* and integrates the framework with the rest of DES 1100.

   Outcome

   The student has read Schön's *The Reflective Practitioner* and can articulate the four foundational concepts (knowing-in-action, reflection-in-action, reflection-on-action, naming-and-framing) in their own words; the reflective journal is set up. (Reflective practice)
