This is a really helpful and accessible text which walks the reader through the origins and current application of AL.
Overly complicated writing style and syructure which I felt detracted from the content.
A great introduction and overview for students that want to know more about social work practice and learning as praxis. The book gives insightful examples and case scenarios that can be easily adopted in classroom setting
I became aware of this book following a local visit by its author. Action learning will be a focus within the largest employing organisation in this area. This book makes action learning accessible to my final year students and will prepare them for the tranisition into employment which they will be able to enter as ready to continue personal learning and to contribute to organisational learning
This is a very good book for post qualifying practitioners who are either interested in becoming a practice educator or generally interested in practice learning per se.
Like all of the learning matters books, they are easily accessible and break down thinking / theories that can be understood and put into practice.
Easy to read and understand, clear interesting chapters, good case studies and relevant reflection points throughout
This is a well written book for social work students and practitioners. the examples are well drawn and helpful links made to the Professional Capabilities Framework.
The book combines the approaches within reflective practice and emotional intelligence that have become accepted ways of working within social work, with action learning, an emerging approach. The result is a useful pragmatic approach to learning and development of good practice in modern social work.
The book doesn't give the detail I'd hoped for in relation to types of action learning.
May be useful but not sure if it would be a core text or where it would "fit in"
Useful for people giving feedback to students in training - so I will incorporate ideas in Introduction to Practice Education 4 day course for supervisors of social work students. This course runs approx 3 times per year with 20 - 25 participants each time.
Clearly defined and accessible text that is flexible enough to be utilised across a variety of settings, including undergrad, postgrad and leadership and management.
