Multiple Perspectives On Electronic Learning Organizations

Abstract

A potential model for understanding learning organizations whose outcomes are the continual production of new knowledge and the development of personal understanding rests in the models ability to adapt itself to the changing context it which it resides. A new paradigm in education that is driven by Scholarship-in-Action (Schön, 1996), reflection of actions in the context of knowledge production and understanding-enhancing/enrichment, is one such model that might emerge as the manner in which educational settings can produce and create knowledge generating individuals. Knowledge is viewed both as a resource and an "output" and are more concerned with the creation of knowledge by the knowledge-creating crew (Nonaka, 1995) It is the participation of these individuals within the educational setting from which the learning or knowledge-generating organization emerges.
