Örgütsel öğrenmede grup dinamizmi: Öğrenen takımlar

Örgütsel öğrenme ve değişimin birbirlerini karşılıklı olarak besledikleri örgütlerde, gelişim ve uyumu sağlamak, bireysel bilgiden daha fazlasını gerektirmektedir. Her bir üyenin kendisini öğrenme kaynağı olarak gördüğü örgütlerde, etkileşim ve deneyimlerin desteklenmesi grupları oluşturur. Bireylere tek başlarına iken yapabileceklerinden daha fazlasını yapma imkânı sunan bu gruplar, taşıdıkları pozitif ve eylem dönük karakterleri ile takım özelliğini alırlar. Örgütsel ve bireysel öğrenmenin birleşim noktası olan takım öğrenmesi, örgüt üyelerinin gerçekten istedikleri şeylere ulaşmaları için takımın kapasitesini düzenleme ve arttırma üzerine inşa edilir. Öğrenen takımlar, kapasitelerini sürekli olarak geliştiren, öğrenen, kendisini tasarlayabilen, yansıtıcı, paylaşımcı, yenilikçi ve koordineli davranışları ile öne çıkan dinamik yapılardır. Sağlıklı bir öğrenme iklimi başta olmak üzere, takım üyelerinin öğrenmeye karşı hazır oluşları, aralarındaki iletişimin niteliği ve deneyimler, bu yapıları başarıya ulaştıran temel katalizörlerdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğrenen örgütlerin temel birimi olarak kabul edilen öğrenen takımların dinamik yapılarını ve öğrenme süreçlerini incelemektir. Bu amaçla takımların öğrenme başarılarına etki eden kolaylaştırıcı ve engelleyici unsurlar, grupları öğrenen takımlara dönüştüren nitelikler ve takım öğrenme süreçleri incelenmiş, eğitim örgütlerinde öğrenen takımların etkili kullanımı için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Group dynamism in learnıng organizations: Learning teams

Organizations, in which organizational learning and change feed one another mutually, more than individual knowledge is required to provide development and adaptation. In the organizations in which each member sees itself as a learning source, groups are formed as interaction and experiences are supported. These groups that give the opportunity to members to do more than they could do by their own, gain team identity with their action based positive character. Team learning stands on synthesis point of individual and organizational learning and builded upon adjustment and enhancement of team capacity to reach the points members really desire. Learning teams, which continuously improve their capacities, learn and able to renew themselves, are reflecting, sharing, innovative and coordinated dynamic structures. Basic catalysts making these structures successful are especially a healthy learning climate, team members’ readiness to learn and the quality of communication and experiences among members. This study aims to examine the dynamic structures and learning processes of learning teams that are accepted as basic learning units of learning organizations. To this end, facilitator and obstructive components effect to team learning success; the qualities transform groups to teams and team learning processes are analyzed and some recommendations about effective usage of learning teams in educational organizations are made.
