WHat is Experiential Learning?
Experiential learning is an engaged learning process whereby students “learn by doing” and by reflecting on the experience.
Cycle of Experiential Learning
Kolb’s (1984) cycle of learning depicts the experiential learning process (see figure below). This process includes the integration of:
Activity —
The application of knowledge to a “real world” setting；
knowledge —
The concepts, facts, and information acquired through formal learning and past experience;
Reflection —
“The analysis and synthesis of knowledge and activity to create new knowledge” (Indiana University, 2006, n.p.).
An engaged learning process whereby students “learn by doing” and by reflecting on the experience
Well-planned, supervised and assessed experiential learning programs can stimulate academic inquiry by promoting interdisciplinary learning, civic engagement, career development, cultural awareness, leadership, and other professional and intellectual skills.
INTERNSHIP
Students works with practicing professionals, complete a project, attend public events, interview and observe constituents and employees, supporting co-curricular activities, shadowing a professional in the field, or observing people in their natural environments.
SERVICE LEARNING
students participate in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs and reflect on the service activity to better understand course content and gain a broader appreciation of the discipline and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility.
COMMUNITY-BASED RESEARCH
Faculty and students cooperate with local organizations to conduct studies to meet the needs of a particular community. Students gain direct experience in the research process.
STUDENT TEACHING
This experience is specific to students in pre-professional and pre-service teacher education who are gaining required and evaluated experience in supervised teaching.
PRACTICUM
A relative of the internship, it is a workshop or practical experience in a work setting as well as theoretical study, including supervised experience as part of professional pre-service education.
STUDY ABROAD
Students engage in courses at higher education institutions in a foreign country. The cultural immersion provides novel challenges for navigating living in a new place. It can also include internships and service-learning experiences.
