Systems Design on a Team Learning Process Model

Abstract

Purpose: Team is a microcosm of organization. in turn, building a learning organization naturally requires how to manage team learning. in this context, the purpose of this article was to apply systems design on building a team learning process model. Method: In order to design the model, the research utilized the spiral system-design methodology, a revised version of Banathy’s systems-design process, which includes the major stages of developing a knowledge base, preparation, analysis, design, evaluation, and implementation. However, the implementation stage was not included in this study. Results: Experts' reviews on the initial team learning process model, were arrange into 'strengths' and 'improvements'. Based upon experts' reviews, the research provided a revised team learning process model in terms of input process, transformation process, output process, guidance process. Conclusion: Through the spiral system design method, the research created an ideal process centered team learning model. Based upon the outcome of the research, the following research agenda would be develop how to effectively facilitate team learning process.
