Abstract: The roots of reflective journaling as a formal method of inquiry are often attributed to Dewey (How we think: A restatement of the relations of reflective thinking to the educative process (2nd revised), Heath, 1933), and later Schön (The reflective practitioner: How professionals think in action. Basic Books, 1983), writings on reflective practice—the idea of intentional, structured reflection as a tool for improving one’s practice, for educators (primarily) and other professions (e.g., nursing, social work). While Dewey’s emphasis was on pedagogy and professional development, Schön described reflective practice as knowledge acquisition in itself; he rejected the dichotomy between researcher and practitioner, and suggesting, instead, a cyclical process of doing-reflecting-learning.
