{{Term|SINGLE-LOOP LEARNING|Simple function of following given instructions, accepting them without further reasoning about their motivation. Single-loop learning involves using [[Knowledge|knowledge]] to solve specific problems based on existing assumptions and focused on what has worked in the past, in order to create new insights. In single-loop learning participants are able to improve their capabilities and to learn new skills, without analyzing or questioning the underlying beliefs. That's 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. <ref> [http://www.krii.com www.krii.com](25 March 2008), Argyris, C., Teaching Smart People How to Learn, 1991, Harvard Buisness Review on Knowledge Management, Harvard Business School Press, Field Guide to Consulting and Organizational Development, Carter McNamara, 2006, Mary R.
