Action Learning : Research & Practice will publish articles
which advance knowledge and assist the development of
practice through the processes of action learning.
ISSN 1476-7333
Articles should aim to create empirically grounded theory, which widens understanding of action and learning in professional and organisational settings. Papers should encourage practitioners
to gain new insights into their work and help them improve their effectiveness and contribution to their clients and the wider community.
Action learning is grounded in the approach pioneered by Reg Revans which holds that there can be no learning without action and no knowing without the effort to practice and implement what is claimed as knowledge. Because action learning promotes the creative integration of thinking & doing, theory & practice, academic & practitioner, contributors are asked to strive to hold these often diverse perspectives together. An important question in assessing
papers will be: “Is this likely to help people in the further development of their practice in working with people, organisations and communities?”
Articles which cross the conventional boundaries of professions, organisations and communities are particularly welcome. The editors will also welcome responses from readers to all these contributions, and publish alternative views in the spirit of debate and discussion.
Action Learning : Research & Practice will address a wide audience spanning many worlds of professional practice. The editors will place particular value upon writing which is clear, direct, accessible and well-organised.
