Book Synopsis Action Learning in Practice by : Mike Pedler
Download or read book Action Learning in Practice written by Mike Pedler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous editions of Action Learning in Practice established this authoritative overview of action learning around the world. Over the last decade the move towards action-based organizational learning and development has accelerated, and action learning is now an established part of the education and development mainstream in large and small organizations. Fully revised and updated, this fourth edition covers the origins of action learning with Reg Revans' ideas, and looks at their development and application today. Action learning is self-directed learning through tackling business and work problems with the support of peers and colleagues. A professional and diverse workforce, attracted, influenced and developed in this way is more able to deal effectively with the growing complexity and pressures of working life. As the limits of conventional training and development become more obvious, leaders are increasingly attracted to action-based approaches to learning when seeking better outcomes and returns on investment.

Book Synopsis Learning in Action by : David A. Garvin
Download or read book Learning in Action written by David A. Garvin and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2003-03-25 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most managers today understand the value of building a learning organization. Their goal is to leverage knowledge and make it a key corporate asset, yet they remain uncertain about how best to get started. What they lack are guidelines and tools that transform abstract theory—the learning organization as an ideal—into hands-on implementation. For the first time in Learning in Action, David Garvin helps managers make the leap from theory to proven practice. Garvin argues that at the heart of organizational learning lies a set of processes that can be designed, deployed, and led. He starts by describing the basic steps in every learning process—acquiring, interpreting, and applying knowledge—then examines the critical challenges facing managers at each of these stages and the various ways the challenges can be met. Drawing on decades of scholarship and a wealth of examples from a wide range of fields, Garvin next introduces three modes of learning—intelligence gathering, experience, and experimentation—and shows how each mode is most effectively deployed. These approaches are brought to life in complete, richly detailed case studies of learning in action at organizations such as Xerox, L. L. Bean, the U. S. Army, and GE. The book concludes with a discussion of the leadership role that senior executives must play to make learning a day-to-day reality in their organizations.
Book Synopsis Action Learning in Schools by : Peter Aubusson
Download or read book Action Learning in Schools written by Peter Aubusson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching is becoming increasingly complex in the 21st Century, creating a need for more sophisticated frameworks to support teachers’ professional learning. Action learning is one such framework and has been used for workplace learning in business settings for many years. It is now becoming increasingly popular in school and university settings, but it is often misunderstood. This book clarifies what action learning is, linking key concepts to illustrate that it is not merely a process, but a dynamic interaction between professional learning, communities, leadership and change. The book brings together more than a decade of the authors’ research in school-based action learning. Rich and diverse, the research draws on more than 100 case studies of action learning by teams of teachers in schools. The authors: provide practical advice on how to initiate and sustain action learning; explain the interaction between action learning, teacher development, professional learning, community building, leadership and change; and illustrate how action learning can link to classroom practice so closely that it becomes part of what teachers do, rather than an added impost. Addressing the highs and lows, the successes and failures, and their underlying causes, Action Learning in Schools provides insights into theories of cooperation, innovation, leadership and community formation to inform individual projects and large-scale school improvement initiatives. It will be of interest to teacher educators, pre-service and experienced teachers alike, as well as school and education system managers and policymakers keen to enhance teacher professional learning and educational outcomes for students.

Book Synopsis Action Learning - Applications by : George P. Boulden
Download or read book Action Learning - Applications written by George P. Boulden and published by George Boulden. This book was released on 2017-04-26 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Action Learning is the brain-child of Professor Reginald (Reg) Revans. Revans believed that management was a practical subject carried out by practical people in the real world of work, not an academic subject to be taught by University Professors who had no experience of the real world of work. Action learning uses the participant's actual job to identify and satisfy real learning needs; the specific Knowledge, Skills, Experience and Behavior appropriate to the situation. Unlike training It provides a 'holistic' framework through which all four aspects of our behavioral 'package' are objectively assessed by the facilitator and 'comrades in adversity' to help participants identify the things they need to change to be successful. These needs once identified are met through a development program created and monitored with the help and support of the facilitator and colleagues in the set. This book; 1. Explains the philosophy of Action Learning 2. Describes the various models and their application. 3. Provides an objective analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the various options 4. Examines how Action Learning can help in today's world to develop organisations and their people. 5. Offers reference information for those who would like to learn more. Note. Whilst Reg's focus for Action Learning was on management development this process is equally applicable to any personal or organisational development need. We hope you will find this book useful and are happy to help interested readers with further information or advice on specific program design and management.
