Abstract

Action learning is defined as a dynamic syndrome (flowing together) of four primary activities, each of which enhances the others. In practice, experiential learning is given focus by being problem‐oriented. This combination of experiential learning and problem‐solving is supplemented and enhanced by the acquisition of additional relevant knowledge and the support of a co‐learner group. Describes in detail the processes and how they interact, and provides practical checklists for faculty to assess their facilitation performance.
