Abstract
The SACE Review proposes that a set of knowledge, skills
and dispositions called capabilities should form the core of
the new SACE. As the Review emphasises, there must be
widespread, systematic research and discussion on the range
and nature of the capabilities. The SACE Review suggests five
capabilities as a basis for discussion. This paper is offered
as a contribution to that discussion through an analysis of
the knowledge, skills and dispositions to which the Review
refers. The paper identifies and analyses a presupposition of
all the capabilities, the capacity to reflect, and argues the
importance of the development of that capacity for the
developing human being.
