CORE DEFINITION
Proposed by Morgan, Lombardo, and others. It holds that in adult capability development: 70% comes from challenging on-the-job work tasks (Experience), 20% from interaction and feedback with others (Exposure), and 10% from formal classroom training and reading (Education).
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Resource correction: Enterprises should not spend all training budget on hiring instructors (10%), but rather on designing job rotations, mentorship programs, and challenging projects (90%).
Anchor fast decisions
Based on "experiential learning" and "structure of capability sources". Adult capability is mainly acquired through challenging practice (70%) and social feedback (20%), with formal instruction (10%) being the smallest proportion; budget misallocation leads to inefficiency.
