“…More recent studies have given prominence to informal learning and assume a relationship between learning and the way in which the workplace is organised. It has been suggested (Hager, 2011) that our understanding of WPL took a huge leap forward when theories of social learning were embraced, as seen in the work of Lave and Wenger (1991). This work raised interest in practice-based learning, learning-byinteracting in communities and ideas that learning can be shaped by the work being done and the way the workplace is organised.…”

There has been a prolific production of research papers on workplace learning (WPL) during the last two decades. Several reviews of the field discuss the development of themes, the use of foundational terms and some different models and frameworks have been developed. The purpose of this article is to analyse the recent development of the field of WPL, as presented in research literature, and to evaluate the potential of international survey data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) to contribute to this development. Our study is organised in three stages. Firstly, we summarise the main topics and trends emerging from recent literature on WPL. Secondly, we analyse how peer-reviewed publications using data from the OECD PIAAC survey have contributed to WPL. Thirdly, we compare and discuss the different contributions and make some suggestions as to how PIAAC survey data might be used to further develop our understanding of WPL.

“…Entre elas, as teorias socioculturais, fortemente influenciadas pela sociologia e antropologia, que rejeitam os principais pressupostos da influência psicológica desse campo e questionam a natureza da aprendizagem profissional contínua (HAGER, 2011). Portanto, buscar influências teóricas distintas exige do pesquisador lidar com contradições, divergências e dialéticas próprias do ponto de vista de cada campo do conhecimento.…”

ResumoEsta revisão de literatura sobre aprendizagem organizacional aponta cinco principais desafios enfrentados por pesquisadores desse campo. Os desafios identificados foram de caráter teórico, conceitual e metodológico e merecem atenção especial no momento de planejamento de projetos de pesquisa nessa área. A primeira constatação do levantamento bibliográfico é que inexiste uma teoria da aprendizagem organizacional e, portanto, os pesquisadores enfrentam o desafio de erigir teoria relativa a esse fenômeno complexo e multifacetado. Já o segundo desafio refere-se à análise multinível de um processo que ocorre em nível individual e transcende o grupo, a organização e outras organizações, exigindo um modelo de análise adequado. O tema vem sendo estudado por diversas disciplinas sob perspectivas distintas, representando a terceira constatação da pesquisa e o desafio de construir pontes interdisciplinares para o desenvolvimento de uma teoria abrangente e útil em diversos campos da ciência. Esse desafio se torna ainda mais complexo diante da constatação da multiplicidade de conceitos e construtos de pesquisa relacionados diretamente com o mesmo processo de geração e operação de conhecimento para adaptação e performance organizacional. Por fim, o quinto desafio refere-se às metodologias de pesquisa sobre aprendizagem organizacional, com possibilidades pouco exploradas e uma hegemonia dos instrumentos de percepção individual. Palavras-chave: Aprendizagem organizacional. Modelos de aprendizagem. Processo multinível. AbstractThis literature review on organizational learning points out five main challenges faced by researchers from this field. The challenges identified had a theoretical, conceptual, and methodological nature and they deserve a special attention at the time of planning research projects in this area. The first finding of the bibliographical survey is that there is not a theory of organizational learning and, therefore, researchers face the challenge of building theory related to this complex and multifaceted phenomenon. In turn, the second challenge refers to multilevel analysis of a process that takes place at the individual level and goes beyond the group, the organization, and other organizations, requiring a suitable analytical model. The theme has been studied by several disciplines from different perspectives, representing the third research finding and the challenge of building interdisciplinary bridges to develop a comprehensive and useful theory in various fields of science. This challenge becomes even more complex given the verification of the multiplicity of research Artigo submetido em 4 de novembro de 2013 e aceito para publicação em 30 de setembro de 2014.

“…An added advantage is the comparatively large research base which informs subsequent theorizing of learning with research topics ranging from understanding the underlying processes of learning to enhancing conditions and managing the outcomes of learning. There is an abundance of available theories due to the multidisciplinary nature of workplace learning [41].…”

“…Encompassed theories and researchers co-exist with a broad range of purposes and epistemological and ontological underpinnings [51]. This theoretical pluralism allows researchers to access and choose different theories to answer or investigate different problems [41]. The common thread is that they all occur within a context that exhibits a number of features unique to the workplace.…”

High Performance Sport Coaching: Institutes of Sport as Sites for Learning

There has been a marked increase in the number of government-funded, high performance institutes and academies of sport within Australia. Given that these organisations employ significant numbers of full-time performance sport coaches, they may be accurately characterised as workplaces. Performance sport coaches have underscored the importance of experience in developing their coaching skill. However, despite wide acceptance of the view that learning occurs everywhere but to different extents and with different efficiency, and the acknowledgement of current national coach education programs as insufficient, no sport coaching research has focused specifically on sport workplaces as sites for learning. This paper will review the current nature of coach development with a view to examining the interaction between what the workplace (institute/academy) affords the individual and the personal agency of the individual (high performance sports coaches).Key words: Sport Coaching, Sport Institutes, Workplace Learning. BACKGROUNDThere has been a marked increase in the prevalence of academies and institutes of sport throughout Australia in the past few decades. The global aim of these organisations is to improve elite sport performance, which in this context refers to performance at national and international levels. This is generally achieved through the provision of resources and high quality services (including high performance sport coaching) to a select group of athletes in a variety of sporting disciplines. In Australia, there is a network of high performance sport institutes and academies aimed at fostering superior elite sport performance.
