Carper's fundamental ways of knowing have been utilized as a framework for the practitioner to consider what he or she has learnt through reflection on experience. The purpose of this paper is to consider, through an interpretation of Carper's writings and through analysing one practitioner's experience shared in a supervision milieu, whether this use of Carper's work can be reasonably justified on a theoretical and practical level.

This paper notes the dawning of reflective practice on the horizon of nursing practice and sets out to explore its value for nursing. Central to this value is the potential of reflective practice to enable practitioners to develop clinical expertise towards achieving desirable and effective practice and, through collaborative research, the development of a valid disciplinary knowledge grounded in practitioners' personal knowledge.
