This study aims to analyze Learning Coaches in the Action Learning programs. As Action Learning becomes
popular and is being adopted by many Korean corporations these days, a number of precedent studies about roles
of Learning Coaches and the learning effects of Action Learning have been discussed. However, studies on Learning
Coaches' jobs that are regarded as unique components and key success factors of Action Learning have not been
conducted. Therefore, this study is focused on the analysis of Action Learning Coaches' jobs. This research was
conducted through DACUM(Developing A Curriculum) approach. The purposes of this study are to analyze tasks
of Learning Coaches in Action Learning programs, and to research Coaches' task elements based on their tasks.
This research went through three meetings held by a DACUM committee formed by Learning Coaches of the
Korea Action Learning Association. In the first meeting, 124 raw data was acquired through brain writing on the
tasks of Learning Coaches. In the second meeting, the data was divided into tasks and task elements, and the
results were verified by the committee. In the last meeting, the final job analysis was carried out in a way that
levels of task elements were confirmed through interviews with professional Learning Coaches based on organized
data. The conclusions of the study are as follows: First, through the job analysis of Learning Coaches in Action
Learning programs, the study finds out that there are 12 tasks and 84 task elements. Second, this study suggests
a research model for the job analysis of Learning Coaches. According to the study, Learning Coaches' jobs are
carried out across operation stages at the same time or continuously, not independently in each of the stages.
Third, the levels of difficulty and the occurrence of frequency for the job of the Learning Coaches are analyzed.
Here are suggestions for the further studies: first, it is needed to drive knowledge, skill, and attitude from the
task list of the Learning Coaches in the Action Learning. Second, other practical researches are required to
investigate how this research is to be applied on the Learning Coaches' job in the corporations, and to analyze the
effectiveness and efficiency in the fields. Third, empirical studies are needed based on the survey on the task and
the task factors. Lastly, learning needs analysis to cultivate Learning Coaches is also required to be followed based
on the levels of difficulty and the occurrence of frequency.
