Cognitive Development: The Learning Path of Community Development Practitioners
Abstract
Adults continue to learn and revise their representation of knowledge scheme with a rational reflection on previous experience and interlink to action in the social setting. There is little knowledge about this cognitive process in China as collectivist conformity to a totalitarian state has been the mainstream culture. This chapter presents a case of cognitive development of a group of university graduates who started their first career in NGOs. The stretching-on four stages of cognitive development are represented as: a) Getting away from the authority reference; b) Landing on opened-up horizons of reflection; c) Building up interlinks across knowledge scheme and action; and d) Linking cycles of experience with appropriation.
