Action learning
|
This is a method of collaborative learning where a small group of learners (an ‘action learning set’) meet regularly to reflect on real work issues. The basic philosophy is, that the most effective learning takes place when we are faced with a real problem to solve.
Action learning can enhance the way in which people learn, drawing on actual practice, and using the experience of members working together to apply new ideas to each member’s role. Its effectiveness can be measured through the changes made to their work and working environment, and the practical results that will be the outcomes of learning.
Set members also report learning about how they learn: they can consider and experiment with alternative styles of learning and doing and receive feedback and new ideas from others. This approach increases their capacity to respond to new situations. Members also learn how things are done in other organisations and environments, enabling them to develop new ideas and build on current good practice.
The Mudd Partnership encourages action learning to support leadership development, whether as an activity in it’s own right or as part of a wider programme.
We currently facilitate a range of Action Learning Sets across Tayside, Forth Valley, Fife and Clackmannanshire for leaders and managers in the social services sector. For further information see www.tayforthsssln.co.uk
