Abstract:

This article presents a practical use of the film version of 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice'. It is the outcome of the author's experience of discovering the clear illustrations of Schön's concepts in the film and later of using the film in her classes on the subject of 'reflection'. The article is divided into three sections: a reflective description of the film version of 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice,' illustrating Schön's concepts of 'knowing-in-action', 'reflection-in-action' and 'reflection-on-action'; a discussion of levels of reflection presented by van Manen and Bain et al.; and a case in which the film was used as a basis for teaching reflection to beginning teachers in a teacher certification program at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva, Israel.
