Experiential Learning
Experiential learning is an approach to education that focuses on "learning by doing," on the participant's subjective experience. The role of the educator is to design "direct experiences" that include preparatory and reflective exercises. The authors that experience may come from earlier life events, current life events, or from participation in activities constructed by the instructor.
