Knowledge of Experience:
• Competence-based standards (codified)
• Reflective Practice• Accreditation
Ways of Knowing
‘Knowledge of Experience’
• Higher adjudicating knowledge (Kant)
• Modernity and Reflexivity (Giddens)
• ‘Professional Practitioner’ (Schon, Kolb)
Knowledge of Experience: view from no where
• Withered and diminished kind of experience
• Accumulation from the past (residue)
• Thinking about only what we already know
• Experience does not belong personally to a subject (saturated self)
• Nor does it only arise in the mediating space of subject and object
Ways of Knowing
• Conflation of experience and knowledge of experience• Immersion in the world; can’t leave you where you began• No separation of experience and experimentation; nor of
theory and practice• Pre-reflective, provisional, open, becoming • ‘risk-laden dice’• Co-production of experience (Bilett) and collective
competence (Boreham)
