Learning In The Workplace - Strategies for effective practice (Paperback)

Learning does not stop when you leave school or tertiary studies, but continues throughout life. The workplace is now seen as an important learning environment, and businesses and government units are encouraged to become "learning organizations". This is all very well in theory, but how does learning actually occur in the workplace? Drawing on research of a wide variety of workplaces in different countries, Stephen Billett analyzes the strengths and limitations of "on-the-job" learning.;Billett outlines what knowledge individuals need and how they can best acquire this knowledge in workplace settings. He shows how to develop a workplace curriculum, and how it can be implemented in organizations of different sizes. The book is intended to offer a comprehensive pedagogy for the workplace and should be a useful reference for human resource practitioners and students in courses on professional development and adult and vocational learning.
