Abstract

Stephen Billett, the author of "Learning in the Workplace-Strategies for effective practice" critiques some assumptions shaping current discourses on workplace learning and proposes that these assumptions restrict how workplace learning is conceptualized and discussed. In particular, he focuses on how describing workplace learning environments and experiences as 'informal' and that 'informal learning' occurs in workplaces constrains understanding about how learning occurs through work and, consequently, the development of a workplace pedagogy.
