The concept of reflection is central to theories of experiential learning common in the field of adult education. In this article, we expand upon the work of Michelson on the dualistic split between experience and knowing inherent in the field’s most common conceptualizations of reflection. We develop alternative approaches to reflection drawing from feminist standpoint theory and theories of embodied knowing. We identify and discuss how each alternative approach points to different positioning of the concept of reflection in experiential learning. We highlight how the alternative positioning of reflection in experiential learning relates to adult education practice through narrative building and the recognition of prior learning. We also identify what we believe are implications of our reconceptualization of reflection for theories of adult learning.

体验式学习理论剖析：反思的替代方法

反思的概念是成人教育领域常见的体验式学习理论的核心。在本文中，我们将扩展迈克尔逊在该领域最常见的反思概念中固有的经验和知识之间二元分裂的工作。我们开发了从女权主义立场理论和具身知识理论中进行反思的替代方法。我们确定并讨论了每种替代方法如何指向体验式学习中反思概念的不同定位。我们强调体验式学习中反思的替代定位如何通过叙事构建和对先前学习的认可与成人教育实践相关。
