>New for 2004!
>Action Learning : Research & Practice will publish articles which advance
>knowledge and assist the development of practice through the processes of
>action learning. Articles should aim to create empirically grounded theory,
>which widens understanding of action and learning in professional and
>organisational settings.
>Papers should encourage practitioners to gain new insights into their work
>and help them improve their effectiveness and contribution to their clients
>and the wider community.
>Action learning is grounded in the approach pioneered by Reg Revans which
>holds that there can be no learning without action and no knowing without
>the effort to practice and implement what is claimed as knowledge.
>Because action learning promotes the creative integration of thinking &
>doing, theory & practice, academic & practitioner, contributors are asked to
>strive to hold these often diverse perspectives together.
>An important question in assessing papers will be: “Is this likely to help
>people in the further development of their practice in working with people,
>organisations and communities?”
>Articles which cross the conventional boundaries of professions,
>organisations and communities are particularly welcome.
>Action Learning : Research & Practice will publish three types of
>contribution:
>Refereed papers. Submissions should be between 3000 and 6000 words in
>length.
>Accounts of Practice. Submissions should be within a range of 1000 - 3000
>words.
>Reviews - including review articles, surveys of fields of practice,
>conference reports and book reviews of recent relevant publications.
>The editors will also welcome responses from readers to all these
>contributions, and publish alternative views in the spirit of debate and
>discussion.
>Action Learning : Research & Practice will address a wide audience spanning
>many worlds of professional practice. The editors will place particular
>value upon writing which is clear, direct, accessible and well-organised.
