Yury Boshyk (2000) has noted that ‘The house of action learning has many doors.’ One of those doors is represented by an approach to action learning that emphasizes critical reflection and transformative learning and change. A prominent room that this critically reflective door leads to is the Action Reflection LearningTM or ARLTM model of action learning.1 In this chapter we differentiate the critical reflection approach from other varieties of action learning, examine the history of the ARLTM model as an exemplar of this approach, look at some examples of ARLTM and other critical reflection action learning programmes, and discuss the strengths and limitations of ARLTM.KeywordsAction LearningLearn OrganizationPersonal DevelopmentCritical ReflectionHuman Resource DevelopmentThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
