Learning From Experience by Richard Winter

Learning From Experience by Richard Winter

This book argues that the process of understanding must start from reflection upon one's own experience, and that the sort of wisdom devised entirely from the experience of others is, at best impoverished, and at worst illusory. This is particularly the case where one is concerned with the complex understanding of professional work involving the taking of decisions about and for other people, e.g. education, nursing, social work and management. The fundamental purpose of this book is to provide encouragement and advice for practitioners in such professions, about the process of action-research, as a method of professional learning.

Winter, Richard: - Richard Winter was for many years professor of education at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK. His research was mainly concerned with helping nurses, social workers and teachers to develop more reflective and creative methods of working with each other and with their patients / clients / students. For more than twenty years, he has studied and practised Buddhism and meditation at the Cambridge Buddhist Centre, and he currently teaches meditation at the Buddhist Centre for students of the Cambridge University of the Third Age. His website, giving further details and publications, is www.richardwinter.net [1].
