The Ever-Changing Personality: Revisiting the Concept of Triple-Loop Learning

Fahrenbach, Florian, Kragulj, Florian January 2019 (has links) (PDF)
Purpose - Considering personality as changeable through a bottom-up process of altering states, habits and traits, constitutes a shift in the predominant paradigm within personality psychology. The purpose of this paper is to reconsider Bateson's theory of learning and organizational triple-loop learning in light of this recent empirical evidence. Design/methodology/approach - This paper uses a multi-disciplinary conceptual approach. Based on an integrative analysis of literature from recent work in personality psychology, four dimensions (process, content, time and context) are identified that allow linking personality change and triple-loop learning. Findings - Identifying a bottom-up process of changing states, habits and traits as being central to change personality, allows for reconsidering Bateson's theory of learning as a theory of personality development (Learning II) and personality change (Learning III). Functionally equivalent, organizational triple-loop learning is conceptualized as a change in an organization's identity over time that may be facilitated through a change in responding to events and a change in the organization's routines. Practical implications - Interventions that change how organizations respond to events and that change the routines within an organization may be suitable to facilitate triple-loop learning in terms of changing organizational identity over time. Originality/value - This paper contributes to the discussion on Bateson's theory of learning and organizational triple-loop learning. As interest in personality change grows in organization studies, this paper aims to transfer these findings to organizational learning.

The specific objectives established were: the importance of organizational learning in a federal organization that deals with knowledge generation; identifying possible technical, cultural and/or motivational aspects, which influence the process of organizational learning in the development of Web systems in the Organization; and finally, identifying opportunities for applying organizational learning practices in the referred processo Initially, a study on Organizational Learning was performed, in which we identified the basic models of Argyris and Schon based on learning from mistakes, the different levels of learning present in the Organization, and the importance of the organizational culture in the learning process stated by Schein. The theory reviewed in this study was complemented by the study of the authors Nonaka and Takeuchi, who demonstrate the institutionalization of individual knowledge in the representation of organizational knowledge, and by the learning practices suggested by the disciplines of Peter Senge. The research was classified as an applied case study, with a qualitative character. The inductive method was applied with the help of techniques such as semi-structured interviews, document analysis, participant observation and questionnaire to supplement the primary data. The survey results showed isolated cases of collaborative participation in the Organization and pointed to the importance of active participation of leaders in the learning process, considering that the teams need to be motivated to share their knowledge.

A Kirkpatrick evaluation of computer-integrated learning support material for technology education

Haupt, Maria Margaretha Catharina (Grietjie) 03 February 2006 (has links)
The aim of this research is to establish which aspects influence students’ successful learning of design skills through contextually integrated learning support material for the design and technology education programme at the University of Pretoria. The purpose of the research is threefold: • The first aim is to investigate the extent to which the electronic tutorial, Design in Action (hereafter referred to as “the tutorial”) contributes to students’ (novice designers) design theory in a technological context i.e. to indicate whether the level of sophistication of the exemplary graphics and explanatory text is suited to the context. • The second aim is to establish the levels of learning achieved by learners as a result of the intervention using Design in Action in order to indicate the adequacy of the learning support material in achieving the learning outcomes of the unit. • The third aim is to establish possible improvements for the tutorial to increase its effectiveness in terms of curriculum, media&technology, learning&instruction and teacher education&didactics (Van den Akker, 1999). The findings of this preliminary study will be used in broader studies focused on the design and development of contextually integrated learning support material for design and technology education students. This research is a qualitative case study, including the evaluation of levels of learning of first year pre-service design and technology students, conducted in the interpretative paradigm, within the theoretical frame of socially responsible research (Reeves, 2000). The evaluation of the levels of learning was based on a model designed by Kirkpatrick (Kirkpatrick, 1994). The model delineates four levels of instruction (training) outcomes: reaction, learning, behaviour, and results. / Dissertation (MEd (CIE))--University of Pretoria, 2005. / Curriculum Studies / unrestricted

Becoming a construction worker : a study of vocational learning in school and work life

Fjellström, Magnus January 2017 (has links)
This thesis describes and analyses vocational learning in school and workplaces, particularly the vocational learning involved in becoming a construction worker in Sweden. This includes learning the trade in upper secondary school education and a subsequent apprenticeship. An underlying argument is that activities in these contexts enable a diverse vocational learning outcome. However, there are potential tensions and contradictions, especially between production- and education-oriented aspects of the learning activities in these settings. To address these and associated issues, two research questions were posed. First, how do work-based activities enable vocational learning? Second, what forms of learning are enabled in school and work life settings and how are these forms of learning constituted? These questions were addressed using information drawn from observations, interviews and a survey. Analyses of the data, using a theoretical framework based on activity and forms of learning theory, show that the school and workplace settings enable different types of learning that form a joint constructed object. Further, the contexts provide diverse tasks that, with guidance from more experienced persons, can enhance the learning outcomes. So, vocational learning is enabled through tensions in the activity systems that form a learning outcome. In project-based vocational education and training (PBVET) provided in upper secondary school, vocational learning is enabled through basic training and opportunities to learn key techniques. In subsequent apprenticeships, the transformation of basic knowledge into specialized knowledge is enabled through close guidance and by the apprentices performing complex tasks. There are also clear differences in the freedom allowed in the performance of tasks between the PBVET and apprenticeships. The PBVET does not allow students to develop and apply their own solutions, while apprentices are encouraged to discover and implement solutions that enhance the performance of tasks. So, different forms of learning are enabled in the two contexts; the PBVET largely promotes reproductive learning and the apprenticeships largely promote productive learning. Scope for improvement was detected, as the PBVET does not appear to provide knowledge that fully meets criteria in the syllabuses, and the apprenticeship does not fully meet the learners’ educational needs. However, the settings provide complementary vocational learning opportunities. Thus, tensions and contradictions can be identified in the activity systems in the school and workplace settings that collectively form the boundaries of a learning outcome that largely corresponds to what the learners need to know and (hence) become construction workers.

Learning to be at a distance : structural and educational change in the digitalization of medical education

Pettersson, Fanny January 2015 (has links)
As an expression of current challenges faced by contemporary societies, past decades have witnessed heavy demands for higher education to change and transform. One key question here has been the increased digitalization of higher education. Within this wider setting, this thesis deals with an attempt to handle the increasing shortage of physicians in Sweden by way of digitalizing medical education. The aim of this explorative and longitudinal thesis is to describe and analyze structural and educational transformation work in medical education during the digitalization of the program and the transition from face-to-face to distance education. This thesis focuses on teachers, students and management, who are all heavily involved in this transition of the medical program. Two questions guide the research: (1) what are teachers’ and students’ expectations pending the transition, and what are the influences of already established tools and activities on the program and (2) in what ways do conflicts and changes occur over time, and how do teachers, students, and management deal with these as part of the transition? Cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) serves as the theoretical framework of the thesis. In particular, the concepts of dominant and non-dominant activities, conflicts, transitional actions, and levels of learning inform the analysis. The data are generated by surveys (N = 108), logging of actors’ activity patterns (N = 100 teachers and 100 students), field studies (65 hours), and interviews (N = 62). The data cover teachers’, students’ and management’s roles in the transition. The analysis shows that the way of theoretically understanding the transition – from a dominant face-to-face activity to a new and unproven non-dominant distance activity – have proved to contribute to deeper understanding of the process of digitalizing medical education. The analysis further displays how the transition from face-to-face to distance education creates considerable conflicts that over time force teachers, students and management into structural and educational transformation work. This type of work successively renders new educational design solutions and new flexible ways of organizing distance medical education. This thesis discusses how the structural and educational transformation work forces actors to collectively engage in the transition by experimenting with new suitable methods and designs, as digital technologies and technology-enhanced learning (TEL) could make sense to teachers and students when they are at a distance.

Aprendizagem como estoques e fluxos de conhecimento em organizações que integram redes de informação e conhecimento científico em saúde

Valentim, Silvia Maria Fernandes Almeida de 27 August 2010 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-03-15T19:25:29Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Silvia Maria Fernandes Almeida de Valentin.pdf: 1279463 bytes, checksum: 2acac4579f264838444b083742b004f7 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-08-27 / Organizational learning is an important domain in the management of organizations given the growing complexity, dynamism and competitiveness of the current global scenario. The creation of, access to, transfer and effective use of knowledge created inside and outside organizations through the relationships established by organizations with their environs are important in this context. Conditions are required to facilitate and encourage the use and exploration of knowledge that already exists or that is new in different sources of learning and to generate knowledge within organizations. The purpose of this study was to verify the influence of learning stocks and flows at the individual, group, organizational and interorganizational levels (or at the network level) and the influence of such flows and stocks on the performance of the Brazilian institutions which are the object of this study. These organizations are predominantly public non-profit organizations linked to national institutions for research, education and healthcare which are part of scientific knowledge networks. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data on the perception of professionals in the institutions surveyed. One hundred and ten valid questionnaires were returned. A quantitative method was used to analyze the data employing confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling with the estimation of PLS-PM (Partial Least Squares-Path Modeling). Among the contributions of this work the following stand out: development and validation of a scale to measure the learning stock at the network level (inter-organizational), translation and validation of a scale to measure learning stocks and flows and modeling of inventories as a second-order latent variable to eliminate multicolinearity problems in the structural model. The five hypotheses were confirmed in that the misalignment between learning stocks and flows have a negative impact in the performance of institutions, whereas the learning stocks have a positive impact on performance which explains 78% of the variance of the perceived performance. These results confirm the results of the original research into the application of the 4I Learning model and the Strategic Learning Assessment Map (SLAM) and of the integrated approach to learning stocks and flows which occur within the organizations and in their relationships with their environs. It is also a contribution to the research on, study and practice of organizational learning in Brazil. The results also indicate that there should be an alignment between learning flows and existing learning stocks in the pursuit of continuous and organized renewal. / A aprendizagem organizacional constitui um importante domínio na gestão das organizações a considerar a complexidade, dinamismo e competitividade crescente que caracteriza o cenário global contemporâneo. A criação, acesso, transferência e uso efetivo dos conhecimentos gerados em ambiente interno e externamente, por meio da relação das organizações com o seu entorno são importantes neste contexto. Para tanto se requer condições que facilitam e estimulam a utilização e exploração dos novos e já existentes conhecimentos nas diferentes fontes de aprendizagem e geração de conhecimentos na organização. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a influência dos estoques e fluxos de aprendizagem nos níveis do indivíduo, grupo, organização e interorganização (ou de redes) no desempenho das instituições brasileiras objeto deste estudo, que são predominantemente de caráter público, sem fins lucrativos, vinculadas aos sistemas nacionais de pesquisa, educação e atenção à saúde e que integram redes de conhecimento científico. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado um questionário estruturado, buscando levantar a percepção dos profissionais nas instituições pesquisadas, sendo obtidos 110 questionários válidos. Por meio de método quantitativo, para a análise dos dados foi utilizada a análise fatorial confirmatória e a modelagem em equações estruturais com estimação PLS-PM (Partial Least Squares-Path Modeling). Destacam-se as seguintes contribuições da presente pesquisa: desenvolvimento e validação de uma escala para a mensuração do estoque de aprendizagem no nível de redes (interorganizacional), tradução e validação de escala para a mensuração dos estoques e fluxos de aprendizagem e modelagem dos estoques como uma variável latente de segunda ordem para eliminar problemas de multicolinearidade no modelo estrutural. As cinco hipóteses foram confirmadas sendo que o desalinhamento entre os estoques e os fluxos de aprendizagem prejudicam o desempenho das instituições e os estoques de aprendizagem impactam positivamente o desempenho, explicando 78% da variância do desempenho percebido. Estes resultados confirmam os resultados da pesquisa de referência na aplicação do modelo de Aprendizagem 4I e a matriz SLAM e a abordagem integrada de estoques e fluxos de conhecimento que ocorrem no interior das organizações e na relação com o seu entorno, e representa também uma contribuição à pesquisa, estudo e prática da aprendizagem organizacional no Brasil. Ainda apontam os resultados, que os fluxos de aprendizagem deveriam ocorrer de forma alinhada aos estoques de conhecimento existentes, buscando a renovação constante e organizada.

Nivelación y frecuencia de las palabras de Plan Curricular del Instituto Cervantes : Una comparación entre el nivel de las palabras de Plan Curricular del Instituto Cervantes y su frecuencia en Corpus del Español del Siglo XXI (CORPES) / PCIC words and their order of frequency according to CORPES XXI

Haraldson, Jakob January 2021 (has links)
Plan Curricular del Instituto Cervantes (PCIC) es la versión española del Marco Común Europeo de Referencia para las lenguas (MCER). La meta con el estudio es investigar como son los niveles A1-C2 del PCIC desde una vista de la frecuencia de las palabras. Seleccionamos de distintos campos semánticos 318 palabras de 53 subgrupos y de los seis niveles A1-C2, para tener una amplia y fiable selección de datos. A continuación, para encontrar la frecuencia de las palabras se usa CORPES XXI, la versión 0.93 de 2021. En los resultados existe una grande superposición y desviación, y no hay límites claros que difieren los niveles A1-C2 entre sí. A pesar de esto, se puede concluir en general que una palabra del nivel A1 tiene una frecuencia más alta que una palabra de A2, que en su turno tiene más alta frecuencia que la de B1, y así sucesivamente, un descenso de frecuencia. Hemos visto un patrón general, de las medidas de tendencia central, que sirve como idea básica para calcular y concluir lo siguiente sobre las 318 palabras de este estudio: 74% de las palabras A1-A2 caben dentro de las 3 mil más frecuentes palabras. 81% de las palabras B1-B2 caben dentro de las 10 mil más frecuentes palabras, mientras 75% de las palabras C1-C2 caben dentro de las 17 mil más frecuentes palabras. En total, más de 90% de todas las palabras en el estudio caben dentro de las 20 mil palabras más frecuentes. Esta cantidad, 20 mil, sería a su vez una aproximación al vocabulario que pertenece al aprendiente de segunda lengua. / Plan Curricular del Instituto Cervantes (PCIC) is the Spanish version of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ​​(CEFR). The purpose of this study is to observe the A1-C2 levels of PCIC regarding the frequency of words. In PCIC, 318 words were selected from different semantic fields in 53 subgroups and the six levels A1-C2 to give a wide and reliable selection of data. Then, to find the frequency of the words, they were compared with CORPES XXI, version 0.93 from 2021.  The results show that there are no clear boundaries that separate the different levels A1-C2 from each other, they overlap, and there are large deviations and variations. Nevertheless, one can generally conclude that a word at A1 level has a higher frequency than a word in A2, which in turn has a higher frequency than in B1, and so on, a decrease in frequency. Using measures of central tendency, it was possible to distinguish a general pattern and calculate the following about the 318 words in this study: 74% of the A1-A2 words fit within the 3,000 most frequent words. 81% of the B1-B2 words fit within the 10,000 most frequent words, while 75% of the C1-C2 words fit within the 17,000 most frequent words. In total, over 90% of all words in the study fit within the 20,000 most frequent words. This number, 20,000, is possibly something close to the vocabulary that could be attributed to the second language learner.
