社会学习继续吸引自然资源管理研究人员的注意，但很少有发表的研究专门关注社会学习的时间框架。本文旨在纠正这种知识差距，通过介绍在澳大利亚的纵向研究的见解。这项研究涉及2004年至2009年的四轮采访，采访对象是参加一个重点管理旱地盐碱化项目的土地所有者。结果表明，参与者最初对社会学习的缓慢感到沮丧。社会学习的证据发生在大约1年后，但最初仅限于增加对问题的理解，而没有提高解决问题的知识。这种知识在项目的第三年出现。根据这里提出的研究结果，类似的社会学习计划应该考虑至少3年，以便有足够的时间发展新知识来解决复杂的问题。
Social learning continues to attract the attention of researchers in natural resource management, yet little published research focuses specifically on social learning time frames. This article aims to redress this knowledge gap through presenting insights from a longitudinal study in Australia. The study involved four interview rounds from 2004 to 2009 with landholders taking part in a program focused on managing dryland salinity. The results demonstrate that participants were initially frustrated by the slow pace of social learning. Evidence of social learning occurred after approximately 1 year, but was initially restricted to an increased understanding of the problem without improved knowledge to address it. This knowledge emerged during the third year of the program. Based on the findings presented here, comparable social learning programs should consider a minimum of 3 years to allow enough time to develop new knowledge for tackling complex problems.
