A Reflection on the Dimensions of the Learning Environment in Software Organizations.

• José Jorge Lima Dias Júnior UFPB

Abstract

Continuous learning of software development professionals is a requirement for organizations that want to remain competitive. In this way, we can perceive a software organization as a environment to foster learning processes. Thus, this paper presents a multi-dimensional theoretical model about learning environment in software organizations in order to facilitate the understanding of the subject and generate reflections for future research.

Keywords: training, software organization
