Flood(1996)

Robert L. Flood and Norma R.A. Romm, "Contours of diversity management
and triple loop learning", Kybernetes, Vol.25, No.7/8, pp.154-163,
1996.
途中で気づいたのだけど，この論文はいわゆるpost modernな文脈をおさえていないと，意味分からないと思った．
というかtriple loop learning自体がそのような文脈であらわれてきた概念なのか．
この辺は勉強不足なんで，イマイチ勘所が分からない，というのが本音．

An expanded discussion in Flood and Romm[1] allows us to
reconsider the question of incommensurability between theories,
methodologies and models, whose diversity and difference are endorsed
in our complementarist framework. We accept incommensurability between
options for presencing the world and relating it. We suggest
theoreticians and interventionists think in terms of theoretical and
methodological (in)commensurability. The bracket within the term
(in)commensurability points to tension in consciousness; between
knowing that choices at the moment of action exclude other
possibilities, but being able to submit a defence for decisions made.
There are tensions involved in trying to maintain a position that
neither "accepts differences between paradigms". The bracket within the
term (in)commensurability suggests a way of managing, while not
denying, or evading, this tension. The suggestion translates into
action with triple loop learning, the contours of which are drawn in
the next section[9].(pp.157)

* Triple loop learning is about increasing the fullness
and deepness of learning about issues and dilemmas faced and ways of
managing them. It wants to establish tolerance between all three
centres of learning and preserve the diversity therein. It does this by
bringing together the three questions from the three loops into one
overall awareness: are we doing things right, and are we doing the
right things, and is rightiness buttressed by mightiness and/or
mightiness buttressed by rightiness? Triple loop learning links into a
triple loop the three centres of learning. Triple loop learners loop
between these three questions. In this way triple loop learners operate
intelligently and responsibly. Their whole consciousness becomes more
than the sum of its parts. This is our brand of complementarism.
