Learning and Transforming through Action Science.
Watkins, Karen E.; Shindell, Tom J.
New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, n63 p43-55 Fall 1994

One goal is to move from single-loop to double-loop learning. Critical issues include its seemingly therapeutic nature, the problem of free and informed choice, and facilitator competence. (SK)
