Term2.png SINGLE-LOOP LEARNING
Simple function of following given instructions, accepting them without further reasoning about their motivation. Single-loop learning involves using 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 analysing 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.
