The Existential Conditions of Explicitness: An Heideggerian Perspective.
Segal, Steven
Studies in Continuing Education, v21 n1 p73-89 May 1999
From a Heideggerian perspective, disorienting dilemmas and critical incidents do not necessarily lead to reflection but may trigger defensive responses. Both reflection and defensiveness are forms of explicitness, and adult education can play a role in transforming defensive responses into reflective ones. (SK)
