Places of Learning, Learning Spaces and Self-learning Architectures in the Digitalised Workplace
Learning spaces and self-learning architectures have long been an important topic in adult education discourse yet not in in-house company training, where places of learning have been determined by the organisation. As a result of the digital transformation of the workplace and restructured organisational concepts, however, a fundamental change has occurred. Places of learning at the workplace are dissolving and expanding while learning spaces and learning architectures are starting to emerge. This article records the historical development of the workplace as a place of learning and its pluralism, giving priority to the changes that are part of the fourth industrial revolution. At the same time, increased opportunities for self-control and self-determination and the economic valuation of labour are diametrically opposed to opportunities and risks to an extent previously unknown. The author concludes that learning in the workplace does not promote learning and personal development per se. Self-control and self-determination in digital work require subject and education-related anchoring and orientation, which is worth expanding and organising as part of a work structure that promotes learning and competences.
