Popis: | Explains the use of learning logs as a tool for self‐development as a form of diary for recording and enhancing experiential learning, increasingly advocated owing to the limitations of traditional learning methods and pressures on training resources. Evaluates a study involving over 100 participants on a postgraduate management course who kept a log for one year, recording their self‐directed learning from workplace activities. Explores the relationship between participants’ learning styles and their experiences of using learning logs. Identifies the main benefits for learners as improved self‐awareness and access to more work opportunities, as well as professional development. Highlights managers’ perceptions of benefits in managing staff development. Pinpoints simplicity and flexibility in using logs as important, for both learners and managers. Discusses the importance of support for learners as a key issue, and concludes that self‐development is a social process. |
