action learning

action learning
HR
learning by sharing real problems with others, as opposed to theoretical classroom learning. Action learning was introduced in the mid-1940s by Reg Revans, who expressed it as: Learning = Programmed knowledge + the ability to ask insightful Questions, or L = P + Q. The technique works best when people in small groups tackle real work-based problems with a view to solving them. Action learning differs from experiential learning, which can apply to an individual alone.
