What is Experiential Education?
“Fun with a point.”
- Learners are engaged intellectually, emotionally, soulfully, and or physically. This involvement produces a perception that the learning task is authentic.
- Experiences are structured to require the learner to take initiative, make decisions, and be accountable for the results.
- Throughout the learning process, the learner is actively engaged in posing questions, investigating, experimenting, being curious, solving problems, assuming responsibility, being creative, and constructing meaning.
- The results of learning are personal and form the basis for future experience and learning.
- Relationships are developed and nurtured: Learner to self, learner to others, and learner to the world at large.
- The educator and learner may experience success, failure, adventure, risk taking, and uncertainty, since the outcomes of experience cannot be totally predicted.
- The educator’s primary roles include selecting suitable experiences, posing problems, setting boundaries, supporting learners, ensuring physical and emotional safety, and facilitating the learning process.
- The educator recognizes and encourages spontaneous opportunities for learning.
- Educators strive to be aware of biases, judgments, and preconceptions and how they influence the learner.
- The design of the learning experience includes the possibility to learn from natural consequences, mistakes, and success.
