Company as a learning environment : case study – implementation of learning theories

Abstract

The aim of this project is, by using a case study, to examine how the different learning theories could be applied when implementing a new system/ways of working into use in a working place. The target is to find and point out successful factors to gain learning in the organization. This project looks at the points that were done in a certain company where a new system/way of working was taken into use. The methods used are compared to most common learning theories. As a result of the study observations were made of similar roles and activities in a learning process between teachers/tutors in an educational setting and managers/supervisors in a company. The main focus of this project was my own selfdirected learning in the life- long learning process.
