formal and informal organisational learning environments and systems (at least
two each)
Classrooms, laboratories, and lecture halls have traditionally contained rows of
desks facing one direction with a fixed lectern and singular teaching wall, but as
the method of and behavior of learning is evolving, so too are formal learning
environments; they are flexible, engaging environments.
In informal learning environments, the ownership of learning lies with the
individual to design their own experience, create their learning incomes, and
self-assess. Informal environments have non-traditional lighting and seating and
can incorporate non-learning experiences. Informal learning environments mix
private, public, and collaborative spaces to accommodate all learning behaviors.

Questioning what someone says enables you to think critically, so get your team to
question each other.
examples of how the critical thinking can be applied in the workplace (at least
two)
There are six steps to critical thinking. These are knowledge,
comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Knowledge
comes from the research gathered while using critical thinking in the
workplace. In order to understand a problem, workers must first find the
sources. Next is comprehension, concertedly attempting to understand the
information. The third step involves application of these concepts to the
specific problem. Analysis means breaking something into its constituent
parts and showing how those parts work together to create the whole.
Synthesis is bringing diverse ideas together to create a new idea. During the
evaluation phase, workers team members test their hypotheses.
