60-548: A change in the role of teachers. The approach requires teachers to position themselves as facilitators of experiences and learning that may take students outside of the classroom. Because action precedes attempts to synthesize knowledge, teachers generally cannot plan or implement a curriculum unit as a neat, predictable package. Yet, a well-planned curriculum is still necessary to ensure experiential learning results in meaningful student learning. Teachers may become active learners, too, experimenting with their students, reflecting upon

Further, for the efficacy of experiential education,

150-434: A college or university. It is affiliated with Khan Academy , a non-profit educational organization. The school's experimentation with abolishing grade levels was featured on Voice of America in 2016. Laboratory school classrooms may be observed by university professors to assess the student-teacher, but this is conducted without the students or student-teachers aware of the observation. The observers want to avoid creating

180-473: A connection to a college or university. Each university-affiliated school has a unique relationship with a college or university and a different grade configuration.

210-411: A distraction or disrupting classroom activities. Before the miniaturization of electronic camera viewing systems, laboratory schools often included elaborate direct-view observation systems with special observation decks above classrooms or observation rooms alongside the classrooms.

420-468: Is one in which a person has not done any reflection and so has obtained nothing for mental growth that is lasting. Dewey's work influenced dozens of other prominent experiential models and advocates in the later 20th century, including Foxfire , service learning , Kurt Hahn and Outward Bound , and Paulo Freire , who is often cited in works on experiential education. Friere focused on participation by students in experience and radical democracy , and

450-405: Is the idea that the experience comes from and leads to other experiences, in essence propelling the person to learn more. Interaction is when the experience meets the internal needs or goals of a person. Dewey also categorizes experiences as possibly being mis-educative and non-educative.

480-455: The authoritarian , strict, pre-ordained knowledge approach of modern traditional education was too concerned with delivering knowledge, and not enough with understanding students' experiences. Dewey advocated that education be based upon the quality of experience. For an experience to be educational, Dewey believed that certain parameters had to be met, the most important of which is that the experience has continuity and interaction. Continuity

At the University Heights Alternative School in the Bronx , the Project Adventure experiential learning program has led the faculty to adopt an all-day time block as an alternative to the traditional 45-minute periods. The faculty now organizes the curriculum by project instead of by separate disciplines. At

570-700: The approach involves engaging students in active roles for the purpose of learning. Experiential education can involve various tools like field work, policy and civic activity, and entrepreneurship outside of the classroom along with games, simulations, and role plays. In these activities, students may establish group goals, practice decision-making skills, and develop leadership skills, which can also enhance student motivation and confidence. According to Ernie Stringer, "Action learners move through continuous cycles of this inquiry process to improve their understanding, extend their knowledge, or refine their skills." Besides changing student roles, experiential education requires

600-967: The creation of praxis among learners. Experiential methods in education have existed in China for over two thousand years, since the time Confucius began promoting the educational style. John Dewey was in China in the early 1900s and his ideas were extremely popular. Established in 1973, Breakthrough in Hong Kong was the first non-profit organization that applied the concepts of experiential education (though primarily conceptualized in terms of outdoor adventure education) in youth works. Since then, development in experiential education has proceeded in Singapore , Taiwan , Macau , and some large cities in China . Experiential education started in Qatar in 2010 through AL-Bairaq , which

630-452: The field. The philosophy of experiential education is closely linked to numerous other educational theories, but it should not be conflated with progressive education , critical pedagogy , youth empowerment , feminist-based education, and constructivism .

660-516: The learner must be given sufficient time to process the information. Experiential education informs many educational practices in schools ( formal education ) and out-of-school ( informal education ) programs. Many teaching methods rely on experiential education to provide context and frameworks for learning through action and reflection while others at higher levels (university and professional education) focus on field skills and modeling. Examples of specific methods are outlined below. Centers in

690-629: The learning activities they have designed, and responding to their students' reactions to the activities. With less dependence on prescribed curriculum, teachers may come to view themselves as more than just recipients of external curriculum decisions. As students and teachers take on more active roles, the traditional organizational structures of the school need adjustment. For example, at the Challenger Middle School in Colorado Springs , Colorado , service activities are an integral part of

720-555: The notions raised by Dewey, recent research has shown that experiential learning does not replace traditional methods of learning but supplements it to offer additional skills, perspectives, and understanding of relationships. Students participating in authentic activities can experience real consequences as they are meeting learning objectives. The experiential approach aligns with Armstrong's claims that students, rather than teachers, should be responsible for their learning. Proponents claim that an experiential education mindset can change

750-514: The professional school level, experiential education is often integrated into a curriculum in "clinical" courses following the medical school model of "See one, Do one, Teach one", in which students learn by practicing medicine.
