Action learning as relational practice

Tom Boydell and Chris Blantern

Action Learning: Research and Practice, 2007, vol. 4, issue 1, 95-104

Abstract: In this paper we propose that all knowledge is made through social processes and is political (of the people involved). If one invests in a relational or historical ontology (a philosophical choice) there are implications for the way action learning is practiced. We illuminate some of these ‘relational practices’. We purport that action learning cannot be viewed solely as the activities of individuals who get together as ‘comrades in adversity’ if organizational change is to be achieved.
