The study takes into consideration how phenomenology in the Husserlian version conceptualizes reflection. The reflective act is a metacognitive act because it is a kind of thinking which thinks thoughts; promoting a reflection so conceived is an undertaking which has implications on the whole experiential domain of the subject, since it implies interrupting the adhesion to the usual occurring of things in order to focus on a look inwards the life of mind. Phenomenology does not confine itself to indicating the essence of the reflective act but makes explicit by which cognitive procedure it can be actualized. The study, then, examines the educational implications of the reflective discipline and the resulting cultural gains, first and foremost the development of experiential knowledge, that is, that kind of living knowledge that takes shape when thinking accompanies action, by questioning experience while it is happening.
