Description
Work-based learning (also known as action learning) combines organizational learning practices, made famous by Peter Senge's The 5th Discipline, with theoretical concepts such as tacit vs. explicit knowledge into a coherent framework. In this updated and revised edition, Joe Raelin, the Knowles Chair of Practice-Oriented Education at Northeastern University, provides a comprehensive look at the field of work-based learning and provides readers with the most recent updates in the field, such as electronic methods in action learning delivery, and covers important new topics such as "critical action learning," that advocates using action learning programs to critically examine the power structure in organizations to see if there might be opportunities to make work conditions more democratic. Raelin brings together the vast body of literature on teams and facilitation, as well as providing concrete guidance and numerous examples to illustrate his points.
