Reflective Journal:
Please view the video, The Importance of Tacit Knowledge in Education (14:38) and read Sternberg’s discussion on the two systems of thinking (tacit/intuitive and reasoning) on page 80 in your text by Merriam and Bierema. On page 87 of Taylor and Marienau’s text, there is a discussion of how reflection is the bridge between tacit and explicit (or conscious) knowing.
- Please write about your understanding of tacit/intuitive knowledge.
- Please give examples of reflecting and having a sense of being aware of tacit knowing and/or finding an answer to a problem after reflecting on your knowledge about the topic and then letting the problem incubate.
