A comparative research design on the role of national culture in adult training activities: perspectives from Canada and Tunisia

MENA J. of Cross-Cultural Management (MJCCM), Vol. 1, No. 2, 2022

Abstract: The literature highlights the role that culture plays in adult learning activities (see Francis, 1995; Hites, 1996; Weech, 2001). The underlying intention of the study is to examine the role that the local Tunisian culture plays in adult learning activities embedded within workplace training programs. The outcomes will direct practitioners and global companies operating in Canada and Tunisia to resourcefully manage their professional education programs efficiently and effectively while meeting the expected learning outcomes of training participants. The theoretical goal is multi fold, first to study the influence of the local culture on learning activities presented in training programs more systematically and specifically in the current Tunisian context, and, secondly to observe what occurs during the various phases of the adult learning process. Despite the fact that professional learning programs are designed at the local levels of society and subject to local legislation and domestic regulations, countries that are cognisant of the important role that culture plays in global training practices may lead us towards alternate and more insightful means of examining how national educational practices and regulations shape current realities.
