Social Learning: Preliminary Findings of a Pilot Study

Abstract

This report presents the results of a pilot study by DSTO investigating social learning at Strike Reconnaissance Group. Social learning studies the mechanisms by which knowledge and practice are transmitted across situations, posting cycles, and generations of members. A key finding is that social learning occurs differently in the aircrew world to the headquarters world due to the different nature of the work. Understanding these differences has provided new insights into the nature of work in headquarters.
