TALBOK™ Learning Path Overview
Learning management is what successful experts do or could do to develop knowledge within their knowledge domain – the knowledge of novices, their own knowledge, the knowledge of their teams, and the repository of knowledge in the domain.
To understand and practice learning management in a systematic and explicit way involves applying findings from a variety of research areas. These include teaching, learning, decision-making, creativity, organizational learning, performance improvement, and innovation management, among others. It also involves using a flexible lens to capture the various work-systems in which learning management is practiced – a classroom, a research lab, a design team, a control room, a whole department within an organization, etc.
Iris Stammberger’s work has mapped learning management as an explicit set of competencies: the learning management competencies. These are combined into a competency model, the TALBOK™ framework, which presents a set of skills, knowledge and attitudes that can be developed by individual experts who desire to implement learning management interventions and foster the acquisition, transfer and innovation of knowledge that is essential to all complex domains of expertise.
To help individuals attain the learning management competencies, we have designed a transformational and experiential program called the TALBOK™ Learning Path. This program guides experts through five developmental levels:
- TALBOK™ Basics
Understanding learning management and the TALBOK™ framework. - Learning Management Fundamentals
Applying the TALBOK™ principles to personal or organizational situations. - Learning Management Facilitator
Helping others develop learning management competencies based on TALBOK™. - Learning Management Consultant
Creating and evaluating TALBOK™ based customized learning management solutions and programs. - Learning Management Professional (LMP™)
Being recognized as a learning management expert.
