This article will discuss the notion of spaces as learning contexts and explore how
this concept can enhance our understanding of experiential learning in work-related
settings. This article aims to consider how employees learn and develop their knowledge
through different pathways, and through the different learning spaces in which they are
building on their knowledge. The research has demonstrated that employees develop
their knowledge through different environments that are often associated with different
types of learning spaces: (1) formal learning spaces/academic spaces (which relate to
learning through formal courses) and (2) experiential learning spaces (which relate to
learning experientially, e.g. from day to day workplace activities). The articles draws on
the concept of the learning space as a framework for illustrating the interplay between
employees’ learning styles and different types of learning environments
