social power relations.

🡪 The reality of people’s experiences can 🡪 Possible for people to speak about their
possibly be denied and called into question. experience in their own voice.
2nd ISSUE
Complex and unequal relations around knowledge are constructed
between people as an integral part of the learning process.
02 Behind the learning cycle – 5 issues
- Kolb’s learning cycle – as a reaction against research, education, & development processes
in the past – fairly rigid & directive attempts to generate & impart knowledge.
- Not best to learn from direct experience 🡪 consequences: terminal illness, torture,
& extreme physical or psychological pain.
3rd ISSUE
There is a need to focus on the here and now experience and the
mirroring process between the people within the education
environment and the organizations they represent.
02 Behind the learning cycle – 5 issues
� Appears both inside & outside organizations 🡪 often get ignored in the educative environment.

Schein (1993)
Discourage learning
A political dimension to experiential learning that
is not currently contained in the model
Flax (1993)
Kolb’s model is on direct experience of individual, but to include power in the model
involves a shift of emphasis
whereby direct experience needs to be seen in relation to subjective, and not individuality.
03 Beyond the learning cycle
Flax (1993)
Power
Not determine directly but provide conditions for self-formation
Flax (1993)
Subjective
Achieved through:
- Interpersonal transaction of power (Martin, 1994)
- The mobilization of bias (Lukes, 1974)
- Key episodes representing contextually specific aspects of power within an organization (Vince, 1996)

Implications of these developments
For the practice of management education
04 Implications of these developments
Based on
- The psychological & political complexity of learning environment.
- The awareness of metalevels of learning.
- Find ways of working with the effects of power as both discursive and a disciplinary phenomenon.
04 Implications of these developments
• The capacity to accept & to engage with a range of emotions in self & others.
• A capacity to work with both individual experience & the translation of that experience
through a social context of collective thought & shared assumptions.

humanity today.
“The polar ice caps are shrinking and the desert areas are increasing.
At night, the Earth is no longer dark, but large areas are lit up. All of this is evidence that
human exploitation of the planet is reaching a critical limit”.

To delay by any longer would be
