内容説明

Today, rapid change is a constant challenge in the workplace, and thousands of individuals need to be involved in continuous learning. Traditional training approaches, however, do not emphasize informal and incidental learning. Furthermore, since informal learning is seldom designed, learning outside of a structured experience may lead to mistaken or dysfunctional learning. Strategies for improving informal learning are urgently needed. Victoria Marsick and Karen Watkins respond to this need by taking a look at many assumptions about workplace learning outside of the classroom and by proposing methods to improve it. They develop a theory of informal and incidental workplace learning based on current developments in training and human resource development which they illustrate with case studies telling stories of adult education and human resource development practice. Their recommendations for the improvement of training which follow from these studies provide readers with guidelines on how to apply the ideas presented here.
