Experiential learning is the process of making meaning from direct experience. Aristotle once said, "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them."
What is experiential learning?
Experiential learning has come to mean two different types of learning:
1. learning by yourself
2. experiential education
1. learning by yourself
2. experiential education
1. Experiential learning by yourself
Learning from experience by yourself might be called "nature's way of learning". It is "education that occurs as a direct participation in the events of life".
2. Experiential education
Principles of experiential learning are used to design of experiential education programs. Emphasis is placed on the nature of participants' subjective experiences.
Experiential education is often contrasted with didactic education, in which the teacher's role is to "give" information/knowledge to student and to prescribe study/learning exercises which have "information/knowledge transmission" as the main goal.
