The course Learning in Organizations provides recent insights in (evaluating) learning in organizations and organizational change. In this course, we offer a variety of theories and models to reflect on actual organizational issues, both in education as well as in commercial organizations. The course offers an exploration of fundamental concepts that can be used to guide decision-making during organizational change and on the professional development trajectories of educators and professionals. The literature that will be studied and discussed during the course is focused on three central themes:
Organizational change
- Perspectives on change and innovation and corresponding methodological approaches
- Social constructivism and multiple realities of organizational change
- Systems thinking and levels in change systems
- Stakeholders, actors in leadership in change trajectories
Learning in organizations, expertise development, and professional development
- Formal learning: off-the-job training, transfer of training
- Informal learning: workplace learning, transformative learning, role of the social context
- Organizational learning, expansive learning, group-level learning
- Career development and employability of specific target groups in organizations
Evaluation of organisational change and learning
- Effectiveness of training;
- Evaluation of change trajectories and the criteria used for this;
- Sustainability of change
