      abstract     = {The impact of participation on transformation towards
                      sustainability is insufficiently researched, particularly
                      with regard to social learning as an outcome of
                      participation processes. The investigation of social
                      learning processes within participatory decision-making is
                      challenging, and capturing all aspects in one research
                      design does not seem possible. The systematic review
                      undertaken in this paper found that qualitative methods and
                      self-reporting techniques are commonly applied to measure
                      social learning. Existing studies assessing social learning
                      processes often lack a critical reflection of the
                      assessment method and sometimes provide little detail on the
                      method applied. To address this shortcoming, this paper
                      presents a methodological review of the strengths and
                      weaknesses of qualitative and quantitative methods as well
                      as further research techniques for measuring social
                      learning. The paper contributes to the current debate by
                      enabling a better understanding of the explanatory power of
                      results deduced using a specific research technique or
                      method. Recommendations are made to address the challenges
                      involved in investigating social learning in interaction
                      settings such as participatory decision-making. To improve
                      our understanding of how participation processes contribute
                      to sustainable development, more diverse studies must be
                      conducted.},
