This account of practice describes how a manufacturing company in the North of England transformed their approach to problem-solving and action through the use of a Critical Reflection Action Learning (CRAL) methodology. The company, who had been in business for over 25 years, experienced problems due to a diminishing customer base and substantial changes in customers’ buying behaviour. The account presented here is based on a 12-session CRAL project I carried out as part of my Ph.D. Research at the University of Hull Business School [Shepherd, G. 2011. “An Inductive Exploration of Group Learning and Knowledge Generation through Group Reflection and Psychoanalysis.” PhD Thesis, University of Hull Business School]. This paper describes how the organisation changed the way in which they tackled complex, messy problems through the adoption of a CRAL technique using their own hand-drawn images as the focus for their individual, group and critical reflective efforts. As the action learning set improved their reflective practice, the group began to understand and untangle the complex links between the problems they were experiencing and the way in which the business environment had changed. The group completed the project with a more nuanced appreciation of the problems they experienced and developed their own unique problem-solving style, which mixed reflective questioning with emotional honesty. 相似文献

In Action Learning programmes, it is held central to work on real business challenges (task) while learning about team and self (process); staying mindful aware of the process is referred to in this paper as ‘double awareness’, and emphasises noticing and acting on process cues while working on the task. As business challenges within Action Learning programmes are real, pertinent, and worked with in the context of the organisation, implementation of potential solutions to the challenges is proved to be efficient. However, less is known of how individual participants manage to stay with double awareness upon re-entry into the organisational routines left behind. The aim of this paper is to explore when, why, and how participants manage to maintain double awareness and act on what they notice when back in organisational reality – and what characterise the moments where they struggle to do so. A study will be shared, where participants have been followed for a period of time after an Action Learning-programme. The study takes a psychodynamic stance and contributes to the knowledge of the individual re-entry by exploring individual, group and organisational dynamics promoting and hindering double awareness. The concepts ‘mindful avoidance’ and ‘mindful alertness’ are introduced as essential conceptual findings. Finally the paper will explore how the overall findings can be applied back into Action Learning-methodology as enablers for improvement. 相似文献

Abstract This article details the process and analysis of a case study, conducted over a six week period, involving an outdoor education class in an all-boys Catholic, New Zealand secondary school. The questions explored by the case study were the subjective meanings of adventure experiences in outdoor education and the benefits of qualitative research for assessing the value of outdoor education. The methodological techniques used were observation, involving some researcher participation, and in-depth interviewing. Subsequent data analysis was based upon theories of experiential education and adventure education, and concepts of leisure and human agency. The results of the study suggest that the meanings participants make of their experiences, and the value they derive from them, exceed those that may conventionally be sought and measured as an improvement in self-concept. These findings suggest that learning through adventure is potentially valuable as a holistic and life-long form of activity that enhances the capacity to enjoy and engage in living. This is an important extension beyond its often limited and compartmentalised applications, which are rationalised by specific outcome based objectives. A qualitative methodology was indispensable to an inquiry of this kind and warrants further attention in the process of understanding the meanings of adventure and learning. 相似文献

Abstract Outdoor education has typically presented itself as a specific approach to experiential learning. This article proposes that experiential learning can be understood as a process in which learners recognise and develop their action-theory and that the aim of outdoor development programs — whether in mainstream education, corporate training or therapy — is to facilitate this process. After introducing the notion of action-theory, I will present a particular approach to facilitation, which can be understood as a reflection-in-action approach. I conclude by situating this approach in the wider range of facilitation models in the literature on outdoor education and adventure therapy. 相似文献

This account of practice focuses on my learning and development as a new Action Learning Facilitator. It reflects on my thoughts and feelings as I began to facilitate my own sets a year or so ago. It will discuss and reflect on topics such as communication, feedback, expectations (both mine, the set members and the organisations), values, ethics, power and confidentiality. It opens with a personal reflection on my experience of becoming a set facilitator and then explores other aspects of my learning. It draws out, in particular, the links between Action Learning and social work and the ways in which the principles that underpin each of these are complementary and mutually enhancing. 相似文献

Facilitating reflection for personal growth in a business context requires careful thought and planning. As a learning process, Business-Driven Action Learning (BDAL) has two points of focus. It aims to firstly identify and make recommendations regarding a business challenge, whist secondly facilitating potentially significant individual personal learning and growth. The research reported in this account of practice focused on personal learning by exploring the potential for individuals to experience transformative learning during a BDAL process. During the research I used a number of methods including hand-drawn images and in-depth interviews to enable the writing of interpretive stories. Findings revealed that participants found reflection during and after the BDAL beneficial. They gained insights into what they learnt, what changed since the BDAL experience and also what they still need to focus on. The findings have practical implications for the action learning facilitator of BDAL during management development programmes. One of the ways action learning facilitators can initiate the reflection process of new participants is to share the experience of previous participants. ‘Sandy’s interpretive story’, contained in this article, is such an example and includes hand-drawn images of her learning journey. I argue that the use of interpretative stories helps new participants understand programme challenges and stimulates their individual learning journey. 相似文献

This paper is written to outline our ideas on rituals and reflective places and how this thinking has emerged through our writing, facilitation and reflections around critical action learning and critical leadership. We attempt to show the conceptual framework that underpins our vision of Critical Leadership and how out of this work we have begun to develop new action learning techniques which we believe help to make the action learning we teach and practise, more critical. In describing these concepts of criticality we consider the tripartite elements of each of the three concepts we call Critical Leadership. That is ‘knowing, being, doing’; ‘space, place and pace’ and ‘thinking, feeling, willing’. We then go on to demonstrate how these three concepts helped us to shape our new action learning technique entitled ‘The Coliseum’. We believe that this new action learning technique enhances the likelihood of critical action learning taking place by underscoring key elements such as encouraging feedback, initiating deep listening, promoting challenge and, perhaps, in the end, precipitating enlightenment. 相似文献

This account relates my experiences as facilitator of an action learning set on a DBA cohort comprising international students and myself. It outlines the reasons for my selection as facilitator and describes my initial expectations and assumptions of action learning. I chart the difficulty in separating the ‘what’ of my own research from the ‘how/why’ of the action learning set. The account discusses my experiences as a new facilitator and my attempts to engage fellow students in the set in order to gain a collective benefit. I reflect on the challenges encountered in progressing the action learning set caused by a lack of common understanding within the set of the expectations and potential benefits of an action learning approach, and also the feasibility of maintaining a successful action learning set separated by geography, time zones, and language. The account also discusses the practical, technology-supported approaches to facilitating the action learning set. 相似文献

This paper presents the findings from an evaluation research project undertaken by Henley Management College in 2006. This project followed an earlier research study that focused on identifying the leadership development needs for leaders of small and medium sized-enterprises (SMEs) in the UK, developed a leadership development model and made recommendations for a leadership development programme. The principle challenges facing the SME organisations overwhelmingly concerned leading change in their organisation. Their personal challenges concerned implementing change initiatives, communicating these and motivating the people in their organisation. In consideration of the challenges identified, one of the key recommendations was to pilot an action learning programme and evaluate the effectiveness of action learning to develop leadership skills in SME leaders. Henley Management College then conducted a research project to evaluate the pilot programme. This pilot consisted of three learning sets, run in three geographical areas in the UK and facilitated using three very different styles. Following the pilot programme, there were several wider reviews by academics, advisors and representatives of relevant government boards. This has since resulted in a significant programme of action learning for SME leadership development being implemented. This paper provides an overview of the relevant literature and research methodology and then presents the evaluation results from the pilot programme. The dominant theme was that action learning does indeed deliver significant business benefits and provides a real opportunity for SME leaders to develop their leadership skills. 相似文献

Because drawing is a highly successful strategy in learning from text, it has recently been investigated whether drawing can also improve learning from animation. Several theoretical and practical arguments, however, make drawing a questionable strategy for learning from animation. In an experimental study, we investigated the effectiveness of drawing for learning from animation. One group of 26 students had to draw what they had observed in the animation. A second group of 26 students had to reflect on what they had observed in the animation. After learning, all students had to demonstrate their understanding by making use of a physical model. The students' demonstrations were assessed by means of an event unit analysis. More extensive spatiotemporal structures were significantly less recognized by students who drew than by students who reflected. The results suggest that drawing might not be an adequate strategy for learning from visuospatially and spatiotemporally complex animations. 相似文献

家庭代际学习是代际学习在家庭场域中的具体应用,它贯穿家庭的各个生命阶段,是真正意义上的终身学习实践。当前家庭代际学习存在开放共享、基于尊重的自上而下、基于尊重的自下而上和开放非共享四种典型模式,其与家庭的构成要素,即家庭结构、互动层次、学习目标与内容密切相关。从家庭结构来看,复合家庭、直系家庭、核心家庭三种家庭结构相对传统和稳定,任何家庭代际学习模式都可能发生;不完全家庭多表现为开放共享或非共享家庭代际学习模式。从互动层次来看,基于尊重的自上而下模式和基于尊重的自下而上模式均以家庭内学习为主;开放共享模式和开放非共享模式均存在个体参与形式的家庭外学习,而以家庭为单位参与的家庭外学习只发生在开放共享模式中。从学习目标与内容来看,无论哪种家庭代际学习模式,都包含知识、技能与意识提升等学习目标,以及知识传授、技能传递与意识形态建设等学习内容。家庭代际学习的有效发生受家庭凝聚力、灵活性和沟通三大因素影响。因此,推进家庭代际学习,一是要注重回归家庭深度联结,激发家庭代际学习原生动力;二是要明晰多元构成要素,选择适合的家庭代际学习模式;三是要重视有效调节机制,形成家庭学习可持续性生态。 相似文献

澳大利亚莫道克大学的扬∙哈灵顿博士作为实境学习(Authentic Learning)的主要倡导者和研究者,她在本次专访中与我们分享了对实境学习问题的深刻见解。她把实境学习的研究和实践总结为设计学习任务、运用学习技术、创建学习制品和协作分享交流四个方面。她认为,当教师创设实境学习环境时,实际是为学习者创设了特定的学习情境。在这种实境学习中,能否提供有效的教学支架是十分关键的。在设计学习环境时,最重要的是聚焦于任务的设计,整个课程学习可以围绕一个或多个学习任务展开实践。我们可以运用技术工具为学习者创建功能丰富的在线学习环境,把技术工具作为认知工具整合到实境学习中。评价实境学习中的学习效果,一种做法是可以以真实世界中的标准来评价学习制品的质量;另一种做法是运用评价量规来判断学习制品,而且要让学习者的学习制品在学习过程和评价中体现出价值。教师在学习者协作学习中扮演导师角色,要参与到协作学习中。在实境学习中最需要重视的是给予学习者自主探究的空间,让学习在学生的手中和脑中同时发生。因此,在实境学习环境中如何让学生成为自我导向的学习者是一个必须面对的重要挑战。目前有一个研究方向值得关注,就是游戏化学习和实境学习的有效整合,这可以对学习者自我导向的学习能力产生正面激励。 相似文献
