“…(Ley et al, 2008). According to Choy (2009), successful work-integrated learning should be organization-centred. Therefore, it should be beneficial to base work-integrated learning on the field of organizational learning in which profound aspects of learning, double-loop learning, are studied (Argyris, 1999;Senge, 2006).…”

Purpose The purpose of the paper is to examine variables to be included in a measurement instrument which measures workplace learning related to recent research into quality management and brain functioning. Design/methodology/approach A literature review was conducted, investigating measures of workplace learning as well as the connections between brain functioning and management. Further studies will use the brain integration scale to compare levels of brain integration with measures of workplace learning. Findings The variables “empathy”, “presence and communication”, “continuity”, “influence”, “development”, “work-integrated learning” and “flow” were found to be relevant from the literature review to be tested for inclusion in the measurement instrument. A measurement model with these variables included has been developed. Research limitations/implications This paper is conceptual in its nature. Empirical studies are needed to validate the propositions. Practical implications The proposed measurement instrument can be used by managers to gain insight into underlying mechanisms in the organizational culture that influence employees’ learning and potential for development. Thus, it can aid managers to achieve profound learning in their organizations, which is necessary for continuously maintaining high quality of products and services. Social implications For society, the implementation of the proposed measurement instrument in companies could lead to better health and higher job satisfaction among employees. Originality/value Traditional ways of measuring working environment are rarely connected to brain functioning of the employees. Only requiring small resources, this approach adds to an understanding of underlying mechanisms.

“…To be effective, the training should take the form of work integrated learning which considers the employees' actual tasks, personal competency and work domain to be relevant (Ley et al, 2008). According to Choy (2009), successful work integrated learning should be organisation-centred. Therefore, it should be beneficial to base work integrated learning on the field of organisational learning in which profound aspects of learning, double-loop learning, are studied (Argyris, 1999;Senge, 2006).…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to examine relationships between quality management health dimensions, employee health, flow and work integrated learning in primary schools. Previous research has indicated relationships between quality management and health. In this study, the role that work integrated learning plays in the connection between quality and health is investigated. Design/methodology/approach-The study object has been a number of schools. A quantitative survey has been carried out. A random sample of 20 primary schools, of which 13 (65 per cent) agreed to participate, was selected. Questionnaires to their 301 employees were delivered and 229 (76 per cent) were returned. The reliability of the items were analysed with Cronbach's alpha test. The statistical relationships between the items were studied with Pearson's correlation test. Findings-The results show that the items are reliable. Moreover, statistical correlations between work integrated learning on the one hand and employee health, quality management health dimensions and flow on the other hand are found. Research limitations/implications-One limitation is that the research has only been carried out in schools and the possibilities of generalising the findings to other sectors are uncertain. Research implications are the relationships that have been identified between work integrated learning and the other factors. Practical implications-The knowledge that has resulted from the study should be useful for organisations in their attempts to improve the health status of the employees. Originality/value-The relationship between work integrated learning and employee health has not been studied in any other major study.

“…The second notion is that major curricular innovations involve co-creation by multiple activities and stakeholders, especially when coupling learning activity with the needs of work activity or a surrounding community (Munro & Russel, 2006;Seden et al, 2005). Typically, curriculum content that in school learning is defined by the internal structure of the disciplines contributing to it becomes problem oriented and organization specific (Boreham, 2004;Choy, 2009;Gardner, Gardner, & Proctor, 2003).…”

This article presents arguments for designing tutoring models for learning networks of knowledge-based organizations, whose tasks increasingly involve the development of expertise and knowing. The potential is examined of a curriculum, when the object of learning, in-house development, is deeply situated in the knowledge practices of organizations, is cross-disciplinary and is beyond formal education. A sociocultural understanding of a curriculum is used to analyze a model that the authors developed in collaboration with the learning network of the South Savo region in Finland. The model in question applies the theory of expansive learning and developmental work research (Engeström, 1987) by specifying it in a learning network setting. The cultural-historical activity theory approach is used to elaborate on the notion of multi-mediation as the main challenge for the pedagogical modeling of a learning network. The outcome of the analysis is summarized in terms of four tension-laden dimensions of learning to be mediated by a development curriculum.
