AN ON-LINE CONFERENCE
ON
THE REFLECTIVE PRACTITIONER
ON
ACTLIST
An on-line conference on the topic "The Refelctive Practitioner" is to be
held on Actlist (an action research discussion list) 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 Schon'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
Schon on the topic by someone who was close to Donald Schon. 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. For those authors who do not wish to expand
their papers the mini papers will be published as they are with a summary
of the discussions held on the paper.
Participants of the conference will be:
Authors of papers

duration of the conference.
