Organizing learning processes of co-production: A theoretical view

This chapter addresses questions about possible theoretical and philosophical perspectives implied in the processual approach to co-production presented in this book. The chapter presents experiential learning perspectives on this matter, and also introduces action research as one research area that seems relevant for co-production as a processual phenomenon. This learning and action-based theoretical perspective is, however, not only an abstraction; it is also very closely related to practice in that its core interest is processes in relations between human beings. The chapter concludes with a brief presentation of reflection as an inseparable part of co-creation processes and points to theoretical and philosophical implications of this.
