SINGLE AND DOUBLE

LOOP LEARNING

People do not always perceive change


within organizations as something
positive. Employees do not always see the
point and they are resistant when they
have to deviate from old habits.
According toChris Argyris(psychologist)
andDonald Schon(philosopher) single
and double loop learning is therefore
required so that the organization and its
employees will improve their
understanding of the cause of problems
and the effective way of solving them.

Chris ArgyrisandDonald Schondistinguish


three levels of learning within organizations:

1. Single loop learning


2. Double loop learning
3. Deutero learning

1. Single loop learning


This form of learning aims at solving
the increasing changes and the
problems that have risen as a
consequence of this. However, this
ignores the real cause of the
problem.

2. Double loop learning


This form of learning will go more
deeply into the cause of the problem
and feedback is used to look at past
actions. What were the
considerations of the managers and
the employees to adopt certain
procedures? What went well and
what should be improved?
