Scientific Knowledge Creation through Graduate Education for Working Adults—Triple-Loop Learning Theory
【日本語版】教育研究：『社会人大学院教育がひらく科学的知識創造―トリプルループ学習理論』豊田香（別科・特任講師）著
The intellectual level of working adults in Japan lags far behind those of developed countries mainly in terms of the specialized knowledge required to address science acquired through graduate education. To tackle this problem, the principles of the definition of graduate education for working adults must be re-explained from the perspective of andragogy, and their value must be enhanced. Triple-loop learning theory is one that seeks answers to the questions of how working adults can enhance their professional skills if they study in graduate school, how companies can link graduate school education to corporate performance, and how graduate schools can improve the quality of graduate education for working adults and not only for training researchers. It is an educational principle that explains the creation of scientific knowledge. Moreover, it is a plain theory that intends to enable policymakers to understand the principles of the profession. The author wrote this book in an earnest hope that graduate education for working adults in Japan will become a widely accepted part of job selection and design after graduation.
