Transformative Learning

How Action Learning and Collaborative Inquiry Produce Transformative Learning

Action learning enhances learning by providing the learners with real-world experience through solving problems and learning from the solutions to those problems (CFI Team, 2020). Collaborative inquiry will enhance learning by joining learners together in a common learning environment regulated by the learners (Bell et al., 2010). Combining the two learning strategies will further enhance the learning experience by inspiring the learners to collaborate through interacting and solving real-world problems. This interactive strategy will allow the learners to teach and learn from each other.

Reciprocal learning strategies will provide adult learners with the opportunity to practice their innate nature to teach. All lifelong learners possess an inner need to teach, just as all teachers need to fulfill their desire to learn. Transitive learnig will occur when the teachers and the learners come together in a reciprocal learning environment where learners learn how to teach what they learn.

Assess The Progress of An Organization’s Diversity Course Of Action

The best procedure to assess the progress of an organization’s diversity course of action will depend on many factors unique to the organization’s structure and strategy. Online learning platforms, for example, would need to structure their diversity programs differently than in-class platforms. Furthermore, the topic to be learned would need to be considered with assessing a diversity program. For instance, the design for an English as a Second Language (ESL) course would need to consider the needs of many people from many distinct cultures whose native languages may vary among the students. On the other hand, a design for a course requiring a lot of eye and hand coordination would need to consider visual impairments.
