During the Second World War he joined the Signal Corps in the U.S. Army eventually becoming a Second Lieutenant He went to university at Clark, where he came into contact with Kurt Lewin. He graduated with a degree in Psychology (1947).  As well as making a significant contribution to the literature Chris Argyris was known as a dedicated and committed teacher. Argyris was also a director of the Monitor Company in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Died in 2013]]> 2017-09-22 08:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sinead_053/8swgzyzpe64m/wish/190035310 References https://padlet.com/sinead_053/8swgzyzpe64m/wish/190035917 https://www.bl.uk/people/chris-argyris

Double loop learning recognizes that the way a problem is defined and solved can be the source of a problem. 
Double-loop learning is contrasted with "single-loop learning": the repeated attempt at the same problem, with no variation of method and without ever questioning the goal. Chris described the distinction between single-loop and double-loop learning using the following analogy:
[A] thermostat that automatically turns on the heat whenever the temperature in a room drops below 68°F is a good example of single-loop learning. A thermostat that could ask, "why am I set to 68°F?" and then explore whether or not some other temperature might more economically achieve the goal of heating the room would be engaged in double-loop learning.

Everyone has two theories of action: theories in use (governing our actual behavior) and espoused theories (what we say we do). In popular terms this also relates to the saying: “do as I say (not as I do)”. Argyris argues that effectiveness comes from aligning these two theories of action.

◾Double loop learning is when we look at the governing variables (norms, policies, object­ives) that guide our activities and our responses to events occurring. This is where effect­iveness (as opposed to just effici­ency) comes in.]]> 2017-09-22 10:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sinead_053/8swgzyzpe64m/wish/190055704 https://padlet.com/sinead_053/8swgzyzpe64m/wish/190056074 2017-09-22 10:14:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sinead_053/8swgzyzpe64m/wish/190056074 My own opinion https://padlet.com/sinead_053/8swgzyzpe64m/wish/190057333 Double loop learning which is the solving the underlying problems as well as the problem in question. 
The single loop learning is the solving the problem in question quickly but not actually solving the real underlying issues.]]> 2017-09-22 10:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sinead_053/8swgzyzpe64m/wish/190057333
