This publication is part of the study materials for the distance education course, Adults Learning in the Workplace: Part A, in the Open Campus Program at Deakin University. The first part of the document examines the process of learning from experience within the context of on-the-job-training and learning in the workplace. The following topics are discussed: the learner and the learning milieu (personal foundation of experience, intent, and the learning milieu); the learning experience (the reflective process, noticing, and intervening); preparation for the experience (focus on the personal, the context, and learning strategies); and reflection after the experience (strategies for returning to the experience, attending to feelings, and reevaluating the experience). The bibliography contains 50 references. The following papers constitute approximately 60% of the document: "Theories of Action that Inhibit Individual Learning" (C. Argyris); "A Critical Theory of Adult Learning and Education" (J. Mezirow); "Learning in the Workplace: The Case for Reflectivity and Critical Reflectivity" (V. J. Marsick); and "Beyond the Anecdotal: Adult Learning and the Use of Experience" (R. Usher). Each paper contains references. Concluding the document is a 13-item annotated bibliography. (MN)
