Abstract

Workplace learning and in-company training represent important elements of further education and lifelong learning. It is a topic often discussed in recent decades. Although learning and competence development in the workplace including its conditions are often explored abroad, there are little to no resources nor information about in-company learning in the Czech Republic. Our study has been inspired by extensive research of learning environments (e.g. Ellström in Antonacopoulou, 2006, Evans et al., 2006, Rainbird et al., 2004, etc.) and we've focused on a deep and thorough analysis of the environment (psycho-social, material) of a large enterprise in relation to workplace learning. This report deals with the conditions of learning in the workplace as employees perceive them. It makes part of the author's doctoral thesis and presents basic outcomes.

Abstract (in Czech)

Učení a vzdělávání v podniku tvoří významnou součást dalšího vzdělávání a potažmo celoživotního učení. V zahraničí je učení a rozvoj kompetencí včetně jejich podmínek předmětem výzkumů, u nás však je zdrojů a informací velmi málo. Tento výzkum byl inspirován mnoha výzkumy učebního prostředí (př. Ellström in Antonacopoulou, 2006, Evans et al., 2006, Rainbird et al., 2004 atd.) a zaměřuje se na analýzu prostředí v souvislosti s učením v podniku. Příspěvek je součástí disertační práce autorky a představuje základní výsledky.
