The Learning Processes in the Work Organization: From Theory to Design

Annikki Järvinen and Esa Poikela

Chapter 11 in Learning, Working and Living, 2005, pp 170-187 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Learning at work takes a key position when a policy for know-how is being made, and it must not be confused with traditional personnel training. The latter usually refers to the acquisition of the latest knowledge for employees by organizing various training sessions. The view of learning is normally that of traditional school learning: new knowledge is transferred to the students. Learning at work, however, should be seen as a regular part of work processes; employees have the opportunity to learn at work by questioning established practices, experimenting with new methods and also by acquiring if necessary the latest knowing.
