AN ON-LINE CONFERENCE

THE REFLECTIVE PRACTITIONER
ON ACTLIST


An on-line conference on the topic "The Reflective Practitioner" is to be held on actlist from 1st to 29th March 1998. The conference will be on for three weeks followed by a round up for one week.

The objective of this conference is to focus on the late Donald Schön's work on The Reflective Practitioner and other publications related to this topic.

A maximum of ten (10) mini-papers will be presented over a period of three weeks. The first paper will be an introduction to the thoughts of Donald Schön on the topic by someone who was close to Donald Schön. Three papers will then be presented followed by three papers each on the following two weeks.

The papers will be posted on each Monday and on-line discussions will be held on the posted papers for one week after which three more papers will be posted. A facilitator will be appointed to moderate the discussions.

Each mini paper will be about three pages long and is expected to be an original paper that is easy to read as an email, thoughtful and encourage discussions on the list.

Authors who wish to present papers are requested to email an abstract of their paper to elogue@consulting.org by 10th February 1998. A conference committee will review the abstract and inform authors of the acceptance of the paper by 15th February 1998. Full papers must then be emailed to elogue@consulting.org by 25th February 1998. The first conference session will commence on 2nd March 1998.

At the end of the conference authors are invited to expand their papers into full conference papers which will be posted on a web page and published at a later date.
