Practiced Based Learning Innovation

Paper Summary:

This paper is a research proposal for a qualitative case study on practice-based learning and innovation within the scope of lifelong learning. The paper explains that the focus of the study is on the workplace as a 'learning and innovation system" and then describes the methodology to be used for the study, the data collection method as well as the limitations and implications of the study. The paper also states that the concept of the study suggests that people never stop learning but rather, continue learning in new and expansive ways without limitation.

From the Paper:

"The researcher also plans to explore how these factors create conditions that may or may not foster innovation processes that encourage greater learning or understanding. This will require observation and analysis through qualitative research. To achieve this goal, the researcher proposes the following primary research questions: (1) what social and cultural factors influence the environment of the workplace? (2) How do these factors create conditions that foster or do not foster innovation processes? (3) How do these factors encourage greater learning and/or understanding? (4) What types of lifelong learning offered produce the greatest effect or result in more positive outcomes among "students" and the work facility?"
