Résumé

Recent work has been emerging which is examining the notions of self-understanding and reflection insofar as these phenomena emerge within the context of the practice of teaching. This paper makes the case that , because of the powerful influence of Piagetian theory on the practice of teaching, it is necessary to re-examine how these phenomena are formulated in that theory. This necessity is especially urgent, since Piaget's theory, as a form of scientific discourse, leads to a formulation of " practical understanding" which is decidedly negative.
