Definitionv1DF-313
Single-loop learning
the cognitive process of correcting errors within an existing framework without questioning the underlying assumptions or governing variables that produced the error
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes the semantic boundary of 'single-loop learning' by identifying its genus (cognitive error correction process) and differentia (corrects within existing framework, does not question underlying assumptions). It distinguishes single-loop from double-loop learning by specifying the operational characteristics and cognitive constraints, using language consistent with the curriculum's treatment of learning processes and cognitive architecture.
