social learning - three levels of change

Visible to anyone in the world

Earlier i was saying that my fellows seemed to be at different readinesses for change: individual change, social change, and societal change - the first two being change within the system, the third change on the system.

I have been hunting around for someone else's thoughts on this. Kitchener is not quite right and i haven't looked up yet the Hyatt and Kaplan Bridget referred to.

Maybe i should add in parantheses that the thoughts in the most recent posts should make it clear that i find social learning and change inseparable - if there is no change then no learning has happened no matter how much teaching or facilitating or knowledge creation has been going on. Aha - So that is why i can use a change framework to describe social learning. I have a great framework regarding levels of change - from EvaLEAD, Grove, Kibel and Haas - individual, social and generative. But i was looking for a three level framework for learning - as something different. Actually maybe this is perfectly adequate then since learning and change are so closely entwined?
