The production of knowledge in social work actions is not only conducive to the high-quality and progressive development of social work,but also to the development of the process of Chinese-style modernization.This paper proposes the concept of"Organization-based learning",explains the practical logic of knowledge production in social work actions based on the practical cases of Z institutions in S city,and summarizes its characteristics and advantages.It can be found that knowledge production in social work actions belongs to learning practices in organizational contexts.This practice process is divided into four stages:constructing research questions,forming knowledge frameworks and taking action,verifying knowledge applications,and knowledge production.This practice process implies the participation of actors,the realization of reflexivity and dialogue.The development of this process depends on the dynamic organizational context,which is manifested in three aspects:stimulating target identification,highlighting values,and providing space for communication."Organization-based learning"presents the initiative of the subject and the synergy of the team,and has the advantages of coping with the uncertainty of practice and promoting the localization of social work and knowledge innovation.The concept of"Organization-based learning"reveals that"organization"is an important complementary theoretical dimension for understanding the development of social work in China.
