Full TextAbstract
esearchers set out to provide a model for informal workplace learning. They used a meta-synthesis method, selecting 17 sources from different databases. After analyzing these texts the authors found that eight components were significant to drive informal workplace learning, including learning stimulus, awareness and intent to learn, action or experience, critical reflection on action, facilitators, collective learning, self-directed and context. The study also emphasized that informal learning accounts for 70–90% of workplace learning, underscoring its importance beyond traditional formal training methods.
