Donald Schön confronts professional education’s core conflict: institutions cling to technical rationality while real practice refuses tidy boundaries. He shows how reflection-in-action—the practitioner’s on-the-spot improvisation for framing problems, testing moves, and revising understanding—produces true competence, and he presses schools to replace theory-only training with a reflective practicum that equips graduates for uncertain, high-stakes work.

This guide delivers chapter-by-chapter insights, profiles the key actors—Schön, mentors, students, and practitioners—traces the major themes, and spotlights defining quotes. It gives you a sharp, usable overview of how the arguments build and how the reflective practicum operates across the book.
