Learning Theories

Group factors influencing organizational learning

Factors that influence group learning are explored by McConnell and Zhao. In their study, they designed a diagram to show group learning in by integrating factors together. The first step was group planning. The planner has to be very clear about the learning task and the objectives. The learning community has elements that must be considered such as "creativity, norms, belief, and status". Factors that must be considered "interaction, communication, negotiation, skills, strategies, feedback, leader, role play, brainstorming, and motivation". Lastly in evaluation, the following factors must be considered, " performance, effectiveness, outcomes, contributions, history, experiences, and productivity".
