spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/12128 Workplace learning through structured interactions Seth, Aileen Shaw, Corrinne Collier-Reed, Brandon Engineering Management Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 102-114). Individuals need to keep learning to stay employable and compete in today’s job market, and organisations need to keep learning in order to maintain a competitive advantage in the economy. The workplace is thus being recognised as a legitimate environment for learning new skills and knowledge, through participation in everyday work activities. This recognition has led to numerous studies that connect learning and the workplace, giving rise concepts such as ‘the learning organisation’, ‘organisational learning’, ‘workplace learning’ and ‘informal learning’. All of which have created confusion, uncertainty and complexity in understanding how learning takes place. In order to understand how individuals learn in the workplace, and thus understand how organisations can enhance such learning, this study investigates individuals’ perceptions of their workplace as a learning environment and their experiences of learning through participation in work activities. 2015-01-13T04:01:11Z 2015-01-13T04:01:11Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12128 eng application/pdf Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town
