Kinsey, Sharon B.
Journal of Extension, v49 n4 Article 4TOT2 Aug 2011

First developed in the 1940s, Action Learning has increasingly been used as a method to explore questions that often go unanswered in day-to-day organizational life through the use of reflective listening and insightful questioning.
