LEARNING
Human beings are unique among all living organisms in thattheir primary adaptive specialisation lies not in someparticular physical form or skill or fit in an ecological niche,
but rather in identification with the process of adaption itself — in the process of learning. We are thus the learningspecies, and our survival depends on our ability to adapt notonly in the reactive sense of fitting into the physical andsocial worlds, but in the proactive sense of creating and
shaping those worlds.
(Kolb 1984: 1)

ADULTS AS LEARNERS
• The learning should be relevant to the real-life situations and
problems.
• The learning should incorporate the rich experiences of the adult
learners.
• The learning should involve the adult learner.

2.11
A THEORY OF ADULT LEARNING
COMMUNICATIVE LEARNING
Definition: To understand what is meant by another through
speech, writing, drama, art or dance.
• Not debate
– Debate discourages enquiry and encourages winning
• Rational discourse
–
Understand the position of the other party and, in turn, to havehis/her own position understood.
• Knowledge generation
– Externalisation, combination, internalisation, socialisation.

A THEORY OF ADULT LEARNING
EMANCIPATORY LEARNING
Definition: Where individuals transform their basic forms of reference.
• Frames of reference or meaning structures
– Deep-seated underlying values and belief systems
– Consist of a hierarchy of assumptions
Paradynamic — The most basic, powerful and broadest set of predispositions
Prescriptive — Guidance on what one ‘ought to’ or ‘should’ do in particular situations
Causal — A behaviour or action which will cause a predictable and acceptable outcome

2.15
A THEORY OF ADULT LEARNING
CRITICAL REFLECTION
Definition: A process that changes a frame of reference by discerningly examining the foundations of beliefs .
•
Disorientating dilemma — a sudden and traumatic occurrence that challenges a paradynamic assumption.\
• Slow Conversion — Changing clusters of causal and prescriptive assumptions until a paradynamic assumption is
transformed • Changing frames of reference is difficult as they are well defended and will be accompanied by a high emotional reaction
• Hegemonic assumptions are usually recognised as worthy of change

CRITICAL THINKING
Definition: The process of examining our knowledge of a topic or the logic used to change our knowledge of a topic .
Components of critical thinking:
problem solving – scientific problem solving
– system beta
creativity
evaluation
dialectic thinking
logical reflection

UNLEARNING
• Discarding ineffective or obsolete methods and theories
• A recent phenomenon because of information explosion
• Overwriting model — erasing obsolete knowledge in favour of
more serviceable knowledge
• Parenthetic model — Old knowledge is held to one side (i.e. in
parenthesis or brackets) while new knowledge is added

2.21
HOLISTIC LEARNING
• Adult learning is not merely instrumental learning.
• Need a holistic view of adult learning.
•
See Figure 2.1 in the textbook.
• Holistic view:
– tacit knowledge and paradynamic assumptions interact at the sub-conscious level.
– emotions, critical thinking, critical reflection and explicit knowledge interact at the conscious level.
– sub-conscious and conscious levels affect behaviour at the activity level.

ORGANISATIONAL LEARNING
• Learning can be examined also at the organisation level.
• Single loop learning concentrates on the symptoms and is
similar to instrumental learning.
• Double loop learning occurs when the underlying values of the
system are questioned or altered.
• The organisational equivalent of hegemonic assumptions are
called organisational defence mechanisms:
– the undiscussables
– defensive routines.
