This book, the first to address issues of reflection in the context of work, is an accessible entry point into the theory and practice of work reflection for students and practitioners. It consists of contributions from a diverse range of international authorities in the areas of management, education, organizational psychology and sociology.
While there has been previous work on reflection in educational settings and reflective practice in the context of the work of individual professionals, none of these deals with the challenges faced by reflection in organizations and in a variety of work groups. A key innovation of this book is its focus on the social collective aspects of reflection--people reflecting together in the workplace.
Crossing the boundaries of different disciplines, this book draws together different views of reflection delivering a secure grounding in academic thinking and working practice. Topical and timely, with international appeal and world-renowned contributors, this well-written text engages both students and practitioners and will be a valuable asset to those in the fields of HRM, organizational behavior and education.
Industry Reviews
This book has the great strength of being based on an extremely rich and detailed foundation of research data. Because of this, it is able to firmly locate workplace learning within the wider settings of the employment relationship and widely differing organisational strategies. It should be required reading for all involved in public policy on skills. Professor Ewart Keep is deputy director of the ESRC Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance at the University of Cardiff Improving Workplace Learning represents one of the most inclusive approaches yet to understanding these complex processes. The book combines attention to macro-social and situational organizational conditions with sensitivity to individual workers' often conflicting experiences and dispositions. It deserves the attention of all interested in practical job redesign to enhance both workplace learning and fulfilling work. David W. Livingstone is Canada Research Chair in Lifelong Learning and Work as well as Head of the Centre for the Study of Education and Work at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto Karen Evans et al gives me a confidence, as an industrialist, that 'high performance work organisations' can be developed from within to raise the quality and profile of integrated learning that will make a difference to business and public organisations. There are opportunities and benefits in the research covered in this book for all employees, employers, colleges, universities and private providers.
