Which of the following is true about action learning?

HRPA’s Learning and Development materials describe action learning as a development method where small groups work on real organizational problems, apply solutions, and reflect on results. Because learning occurs on the job while simultaneously solving business issues, it is regularly cited as cost-effective relative to classroom programs that remove employees from work. Reflection and feedback are both integral—reflection does not replace feedback; they complement each other to deepen learning and transfer. Action learning scales to large, multi-site organizations as well as small ones and is not associated with increasing attrition.
