In this study, some issues that are related to embody the original conception and ideal of action learning are explored in terms of misunderstanding and misuse of action learning in Korean corporate context. The conception of action learning is deconstructed through the lens of 'action' and 'learning' concept, followed by conceptual analysis to the nature of 'action' and 'learning'. Based upon this conceptual deconstruction of 'action' and 'learning', this study is conducted to categorize the concept of 'action' and 'learning' into several representative attributes. Categorization of 'action' and 'learning' leads to draw some adjectives, for examples, reflective, dynamic, complex, nonlinear, that are critical for characterizing action learning. That is, the nature and ideal of action learning are critically reviewed with the reconceptualization of 'action' and learning, which are deconstructed. The Discussion of final thoughts is on what kinds of knowledge perspectives action learning holds in comparison with those of knowledge management and on how to facilitate knowledge construction and sharing with action learning.

Despite considerable commitment to the application of action learning as an organization development intervention, no identified systematic investigation of action learning practices has been reported. Based on a systematic literature review, the purpose of this paper is to identify whether researchers strike a balance between action and learning in their studies of action learning. Research findings in this study included: (1) only 32 empirical studies were found from the electronic database search; (2) based on the hypothesized continuum of Revans' original proposition of balancing action and learning, the author categorized 32 studies into three groups: action-oriented, learning-oriented, and balanced action learning; (3) there were only nine studies on balanced action learning among 32 empirical studies, whose insights included an effective use of project teams, applications of action learning for organization development, and key success factors such as time, reflection, and management support; (4) case study was among the most frequently used research method and only six quality studies met key methodological traits; and (5) therefore, more rigorous empirical research employing quantitative methods as well as case studies is needed to determine whether researchers strike a balance between action and learning in studies on action learning.

How can action learning program promote organizational learning performance and especially project based team performance in Web-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)? This article discusses the association between project based team in action learning program and the performance of Web-based SME to be learning organization. In the case of ALPACO, action learning program that promote employee communication behavior, knowledge sharing, and organizational learning are found to be positively associated with the project based team performance and organizational learning, The results indicate that action learning program in SMEs indeed associated with greater knowledge sharing, learning communication skills and changing organizational culture. Learning organization can be, in turn, positively developed by project based team through action learning program for creating competitive advantage, Also, this study offers further support for the practical perspective on learning organization performance. The evidence from this case study suggests that the project team in action learning program playa significant role in team performance and the development of learning organization of the firm. Therefore, in the future, Web-based SMEs should consider making investments in action learning program that encourage project team's effective management in decision making, knowledge sharing, and organizational learning.

Action learning motivates students to solve open-ended problems by 'developing skills through doing'. This paper reviews the concept of action learning and discusses the adoption of action learning approach to teach operations management at universities. It presents the design and delivery of an action-learning course at City University of Hong Kong. The course incorporates classroom lectures, tutorials and an action-learning workshop. The experience gained proves that action learning facilitates student participation and teamwork and provides a venue of accelerating learning where enables students to handle dynamic problem situations more effectively. The paper concludes that adopting action-learning approach can help lecturers to enhance quality teaching in operations management courses, and provide an alternate means of effective paradigm other than traditional classroom teaching and/or computer-based training at universities.

In this study, I examined the concept of action learning, its characteristics, operation method, and action learning cases in domestic and foreign countries. Also, I studied the possibility of using action learning in teaching healthy family specialist education. I researched the wellbeing action learning held from June 10 to June 20, 2007, with 20 participants. I conducted interviews and wrote a paper about how much action learning subjects were helped in their improving task-handling ability, its merits and drawbacks, and suggestions the subjects had about their participation in. The results were as shown below. First, the Catholic Welfare Department of Baekseok Uuniversity developed and operated action learning subjects to improve task-handling abilities in NURY business. Second, the action team valuated its subjects that everyone had fear and burden about action learning, but as time goes by, their confidence and adaptation ability have been improved. Also, organization staff and coaches answered that it was helpful to their self-development and improve capacity.

본 연구는 블렌디드 액션러닝프로그램이 대학생의 자기주도적 학습능력 향상에 미치는 영향을 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 수도권 D 대학의 사범대학 학생들을 대상으로 실험집단 30명, 통제집단 30명을 구성하여 연구를 수행하였다. 연구대상의 평균연령은 22.3세이며, 2-4학년 재학생으로 인구통계학적 배경은 비교적 동질적이다. 교육사회학(교직과목) 수업에서 실험을 수행하였다. 연구는 학기 초에 자기주도적 학습 능력을 사전 검사하였다. 이후에 실험집단은 블렌디드 액션러닝프로그램으로 수업을 진행하였고, 통제집단은 액션러닝프로그램으로 수업을 진행하였다. 학기가 종료되는 시기에 사후 검사를 실시하였다. 자료 분석은 사전 검사 점수를 고려하여 집단 간 사후 검사 점수를 비교하기 위해 공분산분석(ANCOVA)을 수행하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 대학생들의 자기주도적 학습능력 향상을 위해서는 액션러닝프로그램 보다 블렌디드 액션러닝프로그램이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 인지적, 경험적 수준이 낮은 학습자 대상의 수업에서는 액션러닝프로그램 보다 블렌디드 액션러닝프로그램이 더욱 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 학습자원 관리와 학습전략 활용 측면에서는 액션러닝프로그램과 블렌디드 액션러닝프로그램 공히 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 내용을 종합해볼 때 대학생의 자기주도적 학습능력을 향상하기 위해서는 다양한 교수방법 중 전통적 집단강의보다 학습자들의 참여 및 실천학습 방법인 액션러닝프로그램이 효과적인 교수방법이지만, 대학생들의 지적, 경험적 측면의 초보적 수준을 고려할 때 블렌디드 액션러닝프로그램의 적극적 활용이 요구된다.

Q-learning, based on discrete state and action space, is a most widely used reinforcement Learning. However, this requires a lot of memory and much time for learning all actions of each state when it is applied to a real mobile robot navigation using continuous state and action space Region-based Q-learning is a reinforcement learning method that estimates action values of real state by using triangular-type action distribution model and relationship with its neighboring state which was defined and learned before. This paper proposes a new Region-based Q-learning which uses a reward assigned only when the agent reached the target, and get out of the Local optimal path with adjustment of random action rate. If this is applied to mobile robot navigation, less memory can be used and robot can move smoothly, and optimal solution can be learned fast. To show the validity of our method, computer simulations are illusrated.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of educational service quality, participation intention, and educational performance in action learning class. Methods: The proposed research model is tested using structural equation modeling for hypotheses based on the data collected from one of action learning class. Results: The results indicate that educational service quality(reliability, assurance, tangibles, empathy, information accuracy, and relationship quality) positively affects participation intention which in turn improve educational performance, including aspects of before and after class of action learning. In addition, participation intention in classroom positively affects educational performance with both groups. For after class of action learning, the result confirms the effect of responsiveness of educational service quality on participation intention, however, in before class of action learning there is not showed a significant relationship. Conclusion: This study would provide useful information and can be applied to the improvement of educational performance through the participation of students by the instructors and the educational institutes who want to apply the active learning forum in classroom.
