Praxiology is the study of working and doing from the point of view
of effectiveness. It has three components: analysis of concepts
involving purposive actions; critique of modes of action from the
viewpoint of efficiency; and normative advisory aspects in
recommen-dations for increasing human efficacy. This sixth volume
of the Praxiology series fo-cuses on action learning. Learning from
distinguishable action is surprisingly different than learning from
a sub-ject expert in human or book form. For those who have worked
with and in action learn-ing, the latest form is always
distinguishably different from a former experience. Action learning
programs are not, in general, intended to tackle puzzles, namely,
questions to which an answer may be said to exist even if that
answer is difficult to find; action learn-ing is intended to help
to develop the ability to tackle problems or opportunities, of
which different persons, all experienced, intelligent, and
motivated, might well advocate differ-ent courses of action, all
reasonable. The essentials of action learning, according to this
volume, are: there can be no learning unless the participant
receives feedback about his/her performance; partici-pants learn
only of their own volition and never at the will of others; the
volition to learn is most readily engendered by the lure of success
or by the fear of calamity. Building upon these essentials, the
authors view action learning as a process of inquiry begin-ning
with the experience of not knowing what to do next, and finding
that an answer is not available from current expertise. All
chapters in this volume are sound contributions to the continuing
debate on the processes of learning from distinguishable action.
Action Learning is intriguing reading for sociologists,
philosophers, managers, and research-ers of all disciplines.
