message: Can anyone provide substantive evidence for the claims made in the graphic? Some version of this crops up frequently but I have not seen any research to support it. I believe it has the status of an urban myth. As it stands, without context, I believe it to be meaningless. steven (talk) 13:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The graphic

message: This article really needs context for those of us who may not be familiar with the concepts being described.  I also feel that the end section is a bit promotional.  What do other editors think about this? janejellyroll 07:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article 

message: I added the following line to address the idea of notability:
"The introduction of Revans's theory of Action Learning was cited by Stuart Crainer as one of the 75 Greatest Management Decisions Ever Made in his book of the same title."
I am not sure if it rises to the standard, but I came across this discussion as I was reading Cranier's book.

message: Chapter ARL and MiL Models is confusing
cf. "The main differences between Revans’ approach to action learning and the ‘MiL Model’ in the ‘80s are :
the role of a project team advisor (later called Learning Coach), which Revans advised against;
the use of team projects rather than individual challenges;
the duration of the sessions, which is more flexible in ARL designs."
So Revans is against project team advisors, against team projects, strict respect of duration of sessions?--SvenAERTS (talk) 16:09, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Comment on the lead 

message: The article reads like a promotional piece in some places and makes some claims which I can't see that are substantiated with references or other evidence. I have added requests for citations. For example: "The proven power of the action learning process originates in its theoretical underpinnings (Waddill & Marquardt, 2003).". No 'proof' given in this section about its power, or how this power has been evaluated. Also: "In action learning, there is no need to unlearn what has worked in the past. Reflecting on what hasn't worked helps team/set members unlearn what doesn't work and invent better ways of acting going forward." Again, supporting this claim about what helps team/set members would be strengthened by reference to a study that provides proof. --mgaved (talk) 12:53, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Unsubstantiated claims

message: As  noted above, we need some independent reliable sources on "action learning in schools". A Google Scholar search for "action learning in schools" returns only 120 results, which is 0.1% of the 113,000 Google Scholar search results for "action learning" alone. These results do not bode well for the relevance of "action learning in schools" to this article. Furthermore, the most highly cited reference, by far, is Action Learning in Schools: Reframing Teachers' Professional Learning and Development (Routledge, 2009), which is a book about practice-based professional learning of teachers—not about the pedagogy that  described above using the name "action learning in schools". So if there should be a section in this article about "action learning in schools", it appears that the section should be about the practice-based professional learning of teachers, not about what  described above.
