Abstract

The Problem COVID-19 has brought challenges to all sectors of society, from leadership at the top to service at the front lines. Learning (and unlearning) by its very nature will play an outsize role in our reinvention and renewal. Much of that learning will be informal and incidental learning. How can complexity science help us think about informal and incidental learning in a pandemic and how might we develop our capacity to productively learn given these turbulent circumstances? The Recommendation Workplace educators are encouraged to take a complexity perspective on their work post-COVID-19 and to enlarge their repertoire of responses to learning needs to include informal and incidental learning. A critical role for these individuals will be to help workers increase their skill in being proactive, critically reflective, creative, and playful as they learn informally. We encourage use of design thinking—coupled with knowledge-intensive tools, data visualization modeling, imagination, and abductive reasoning—to reframe how we learn in times of complexity in the time of COVID-19. The Stakeholders All of us have to learn our way through during this great reset. Every sector, every workplace, will be affected by the changes wrought by a pandemic and an economy in jeopardy. Thus all who learn and particularly those of us who help shape and guide workplace learning have a stake in understanding complexity and how to enhance informal and incidental learning as a strategically important response to these times.
新冠肺炎时期的非正式和附带学习
COVID-19给社会各阶层带来了挑战,从高层领导到一线服务。学习(和忘却)的本质将在我们的重塑和更新中发挥巨大的作用。大部分的学习将是非正式的和偶然的学习。复杂性科学如何帮助我们思考大流行期间的非正式学习和偶然学习?在这些动荡的环境下,我们如何才能培养有效学习的能力?建议鼓励工作场所教育工作者从复杂的角度看待他们在2019冠状病毒病后的工作,并扩大他们应对学习需求的手段,包括非正式学习和偶然学习。这些人的一个关键角色将是帮助员工在非正式学习中提高他们的主动、批判性反思、创造性和趣味性的技能。我们鼓励使用设计思维,结合知识密集型工具、数据可视化建模、想象力和溯因推理,在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的复杂时期重新构建我们的学习方式。在这个伟大的重置过程中,我们所有人都必须学习自己的方式。每一个部门、每一个工作场所都将受到流行病和处于危险中的经济所带来的变化的影响。因此,所有学习的人,特别是我们这些帮助塑造和指导工作场所学习的人,都有必要理解复杂性,以及如何将非正式和偶然的学习作为对这些时代的重要战略回应。
