Looped LearningSingle-loop learning refers to a type of knowledge acquisition in which people learn and use new skills for necessary but incremental change.
- Double-loop learning is changing underlying values and assumptions as decision making progresses. It is also referred to as reframing or changing the context.
- Triple-loop learning is a model (along with single- and double-loop learning) that helps TD professionals understand the dynamics of learning that is frequently defined as “learning how to learn.” Learners reflect beyond what they learned to how they learned, how they think about what they learned, and how others feel about what was learned. This causes them to transform by willingly altering their beliefs and values about themselves and about the world.
