　Based on the learning aims described on the previous page, please read through the assigned readings (1) and (2) and do 1) and 2) below.

　As explained in the 8th Session, the assigned reading, "Action Learning in Practice: Problem Solving and Organizational Learning Develop Leaders," was written for practitioners by M.J. Marcord, a well-known "action learning researcher. In other words, it was written by a researcher who aims to develop Action Learning as a methodology with its own system for the purpose of disseminating it to practitioners. Therefore, it does not touch on the problems that action learning faces or the issues that need to be solved. In addition, the book presents only successful case studies, not failed ones.

　　In [Session 8], we carefully read Marcord (2001) and organized its features, and in [Session 9], we will challenge you to re-examine the same literature from a critical perspective.

　Please read the assigned readings carefully again from a critical perspective. Then, examine the problems with the "MarCord style" action learning methodology as a methodology for human resource development.

　Based on the above, please provide at least three questions regarding the effectiveness of "learning through problem solving in the real world. This will be [Task 9].

　For details on how to proceed with [Task 9], please refer to the next chapter.
