A review of action learning literature 1994‐2000: Part 1 – bibliography and comments

Abstract

Many organizations now utilize action learning, and it is applied increasingly throughout the world. Action learning appears in numerous variants, but generically it is a form of learning through experience, “by doing”, where the task environment is the classroom, and the task the vehicle. Two previous reviews of the action learning literature by Alan Mumford respectively covered the field prior to 1985 and the period 1985‐94. Both reviews included books as well as journal articles. This current review covers the period 1994‐2000 and is limited to publicly available journal articles.
