Critical reflection on the Metaphysical World

Reflection is a much-used concept in initial teacher training. By outlining the range of meanings found in the literature the authors of this article take a critical look at this concept. At the same time they identify a developmental but non-hierarchical vision of reflection granting it the status of a metacompetence. A diagram is used to clarify the ecological and methodological dimensions of the thinking process. In this book the author approaches critical reflection on the World through three different dimensions: The Dimension of Spiritualism; The Dimension of Idealism and ; The Dimension of Realism.This thirty-eighth book by Mr. BUGEME CHIRABA Jérôme Professor and Senior Research Fellow provides a detailed understanding of this critical reflection on the World through a sociological analysis of these three dimensions.
