Self Managed Learning in Action: Putting SML into Practice

Ian Cunningham

Ben Bennett

Over the last two decades the importance of Self Managed Learning (SML) has become increasingly recognized. This book shows how it has revolutionized learning in organizations such as Ericsson, PPP Healthcare and Sainsbury’s, and how it has contributed to wider organizational change. The book consists of four Parts. Part I places SML against the backdrop of changing global trends and the organizational responses to them. It examines how these have led to the need for people to be more self managing and provides an overview of an SML programme. Part II shows SML programmes in action by presenting case studies from nine very different organizations which have used this approach. Part III looks at SML methods in more depth by concentrating on strategic learning contracts, learning groups and how SML can be supported. Finally, Part IV concludes and looks to the future. Rigorously researched, Self Managed Learning in Action demonstrates that this important approach can be used in a wide variety of contexts and cultures, in the private sector and in the public sector, and for a wide range of staff.

Recenzii

'a good guide to setting up a programme. It also gives plenty of evidence to help justify it to colleagues and help sell the concept to customers. And, being grounded in experience but supported by theory, it makes a very convincing case.' Progress, Summer 2000 ’I found the book easy to read and dip in and out of. Part II is particularly useful, as it allows the reader to follow SML through a number of different case studies and to draw parallels with their own organization. This is a well-researched and current text on the subject and one which many will find helpful as an authoritative text on SML.’ Industrial and Commercial Training
