Single and double loop reflection

It was interesting and new for me to learn Schon’s Single and double-loop reflection. In fact I do this reflection very often by not knowing it.

Single-loop reflection is asking question “Am I doing the right thing?” when something goes wrong or feel it so. And immediately addressing the issue and finding an alternate option to resolve it by being in the governing variables.

Whereas double-loop reflection, is higher level form of reflection that recognizes that action and consequences in the first loop may not valid and needed a question and close inspection of governing variables. In double-loo, educators may examine and reflect on the the theory or perspective in use. By altering the governing variables one  can achieve a shift in the way which strategies and consequences framed.
