KURUM İÇİ VE KURUM DIŞI EĞİTİMİN ÖTESİNDE: KOLEKTİF ÖĞRENME İÇİN HİBRİT ÖĞRENME MİMARİLERİNİN TASARIMI

Öz

Bu kavramsal makale, örgütsel eğitim sistemlerini, öğrenmenin nasıl üretildiğini, transfer edildiğini ve kurumsallaştığını şekillendiren öğrenme mimarileri olarak yeniden kavramsallaştırmaktadır. Çalışma, eğitimi salt operasyonel bir faaliyet olarak ele almak yerine, onu uzun vadeli örgütsel uyum sağlama kapasitesini etkileyen stratejik bir öğrenme yeteneği olarak konumlandırmaktadır. Analizler, hizmet içi ve dış eğitim mimarilerinin farklı öğrenme dinamiklerini desteklediğini göstermektedir. Hizmet içi eğitmen sistemleri bağlamsallaştırmayı ve sosyal öğrenmeyi güçlendirirken bilgi seyrelmesi riski taşır; dış eğitim ise keşifsel öğrenmeyi artırır ancak genellikle sürdürülebilir entegrasyon mekanizmalarından yoksundur. Bu sınırlılıkları gidermek amacıyla, çalışma, dışarıdan bilgi akışını kurum içine yerleşik rutinlerle birleştirerek hem inovasyonu hem de öğrenme sürekliliğini destekleyen hibrit bir eğitim mimarisi geliştirmektedir. Ampirik testlerden yoksun olmakla birlikte, oluşturulan bu çerçeve, eğitim mimarilerinin farklı bağlamlarda öğrenme süreçlerini nasıl etkilediğine dair gelecekteki araştırmalar için teorik bir zemin sunmaktadır. Pratik açıdan, liderlere öğrenme hedefleri ve çevresel değişkenlik temelinde eğitim modellerini seçmeleri için kavramsal temellere dayanan bir rehber sunarak, maliyet odaklı bir yaklaşımdan öğrenme odaklı bir tasarıma geçişi teşvik etmektedir. Sonuç olarak, bu makale eğitim sistemi tasarımını yetenek yenileme ve uzun vadeli uyum sağlama kapasitesi ile ilişkilendirerek öğrenen organizasyon literatürüne katkıda bulunmaktadır.

BEYOND INTERNAL VS. EXTERNAL TRAINING: DESIGNING HYBRID LEARNING ARCHITECTURES FOR COLLECTIVE LEARNING

Öz

This conceptual paper reconceptualizes organizational training systems as learning architectures that shape how learning is generated, transferred, and institutionalized. Rather than treating training as a mere operational activity, it is positioned as a strategic learning capability influencing long-term organizational adaptability. The analysis demonstrates that internal cascade and external training architectures support distinct learning dynamics. Cascade systems strengthen contextualization and social learning but risk knowledge dilution, whereas external training enhances exploratory learning but often lacks mechanisms for sustained integration. To address these limitations, the study develops a hybrid training architecture that combines external knowledge infusion with internally embedded routines, supporting both innovation and learning continuity. While lacking empirical testing , this framework provides a theoretical foundation for future research on how training architectures influence learning processes across different contexts. Practically, it offers leaders a conceptually grounded guide for selecting training models based on learning objectives and environmental volatility, encouraging a shift from cost-driven to learning-oriented design. Ultimately, this paper advances learning organization scholarship by linking training system design to capability renewal and long-term adaptability.
