This book analyses and elaborates on learning processes within
work environments and explores professional learning. It presents
research indicating general characteristics of the work environment
that support learning, as well as barriers to workplace learning.
Themes of professional development, lifelong learning and business
organisation emerge through the chapters and contributions explore
theoretical and empirical analyses on the boundary between working
and learning in various contexts and with various methodological
approaches.
Readers will discover how current workplace learning approaches
can emphasise the learning potential of the work environment and
how workplaces can combine the application of competence that is
working, with its acquisition or learning. Through these chapters,
we learn about the educational challenge to design workplaces as
environments of rich learning potential without neglecting business
demands.
Expert authors explore how learning and working are both to be
considered as two common aspects of an individual s activity.
Complexity, significance, integrity and variety of assigned work
tasks as well as scope of action, interaction and feedback within
its processing, turn out to be crucial work characteristics,
amongst others revealed in these chapters.
Part of the Professional and Practice-based Learning series,
this bookwill appeal to anyone with an interest in workplaces as
learning environments: those within government, community or
business agencies and within the research communities in education,
psychology, sociology and business management will find it of great
interest."
