  • Learning Theories Related to Adult Learning

    • "Action learning is defined as an approach to working with, and developing people, which uses work on a real project or problem as the way to learn.Participants work in small groups or teams to take action to solve their project or problem, and learn how to learn from that action.A learning coach works with the group in order to help them learn how to balance their work, with the learning from that work (O'Neil, 2000, p.44). "
    • From there, a project group leader is chosen.Both the project group leader and the learning coaches act as organizers, facilitators and overall motivators for the action groups (O'Neil, 2000).
    • Over two years, there were nine separate sessions with more than 250 participants.Each session averaged 28 participants, formed into four action learning groups of 7 participants each.A learning coach worked with each group.The four learning coaches also formed a learning coach team.Each action learning group addressed an actual business project, sponsored by a senior leader in the organization.During the program, the action learning groups met for a minimum of six and a half days over a six-week period with their learning coach and additional days on their own.At the end of the session, each action learning group proposed recommendations to the entire senior leadership team.Many of these groups were involved in the implementation of their recommendations after the end of the session.Some of the outcomes included savings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars through work restructuring, improved relationships with the community through outreach programs, and a transformed view of company-customer interactions, from providing customer satisfaction to that of building customer loyalty (O'Neil, 2000).
