Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to examine the contribution that Outdoor Learning Development (LDO) makes to a university postgraduate programme in Human Resource Development for international students with work experience. It establishes the rationale for LDO inclusion based on notable research contributions and differentiates the role and format of this event from conventional outdoor management development programmes through a focus on self-organized learning. The progression from individual learning to intra-group learning over the three days of the event is based on the interplay of action, theoretical inputs and self-evaluation. An emphasis is placed on purposeful conversation for shared learning, systems thinking and personal responsibility for seeking collaboration – essential elements in the life of real organizations. Individual reflective capability and group conversational processes for enhanced learning skills are stimulated in follow-up discussion after LDO with video input on key incidents. The learning achieved is generally observed to be beyond what conventional classroom activities can offer and sets in motion new thinking to consolidate and apply academic knowledge across the whole programme, providing a stimulus to career development.

为人力资源开发硕士设计和实施户外学习发展组件

摘要本文的目的是研究户外学习发展(LDO)对具有工作经验的国际学生人力资源开发大学研究生课程的贡献。它建立了基于显著研究贡献的LDO纳入的基本原理，并通过对自组织学习的关注，将这一活动的作用和形式与传统的户外管理发展计划区分开来。在为期三天的活动中，从个人学习到团队学习的过程是基于行动、理论输入和自我评估的相互作用。重点放在有目的的对话，共享学习，系统思考和寻求合作的个人责任-现实组织生活中的基本要素。在LDO后的后续讨论中，通过对关键事件的视频输入，激发了个人反思能力和提高学习技能的小组对话过程。所取得的学习成果通常被认为是传统课堂活动所不能提供的，并且在整个课程中建立了新的思维来巩固和应用学术知识，为职业发展提供了刺激。

期刊介绍： Human Resource Development International promotes all aspects of practice and research that explore issues of individual, group and organisational learning and performance. In adopting this perspective Human Resource Development International is committed to questioning the divide between practice and theory; between the practitioner and the academic; and between traditional and experimental methodological approaches. Human Resource Development International is committed to a wide understanding of ''organisation'' - one that extends through self-managed teams, voluntary work, or family businesses to global enterprises and bureaucracies. Human Resource Development International also commits itself to exploring the development of organisations and the life-long learning of people and their collectivity (organisation), their strategy and their policy, from all parts of the world. In this way Human Resource Development International will become a leading forum for debate and exploration of the interdisciplinary field of human resource development.
