Term2.png SINGLE-LOOP LEARNING
Type of learning which consists in following given instructions, accepting them without further reasoning about their motivation. Single-loop learning involves using knowledge to solve specific problems, starting from existing assumptions and focusing on what has worked in the past.


In single-loop learning participants are able to improve their capabilities and to learn new skills without analyzing or questioning the underlying beliefs. This is the reason why single-loop learning is also called "incremental learning". When organizations operate according to this kind of learning, members are led to accept and follow the existing rules, correcting deviations from them.
