  2. Experiential Education • A Philosophy of Education • “Experiential education is a holistic philosophy, where carefully chosen experiences supported by reflection, critical analysis, and synthesis, are structured to require the learner to take initiative, make decisions, and be accountable for the results, through actively posing questions, investigating, experimenting, being curious, solving problems, assuming responsibility, being creative, constructing meaning, and integrating previously developed knowledge.” • Itin, Christian, Reasserting the Philosophy of Experiential Education, Journal of Experiential Education, Fall 1999

  4. Experiential Learning • “Experiential learning rests within the student and does not necessarily require a teacher.” – Itin, Christian M. • http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/sugata_mitra_shows_how_kids_teach_themselves.html

  5. Experiential Learning • Speaks to the individual’s learning experience. • More importantly, their direct experience with the learning • Requires participation from the learner. They must be party to the exchange. • Something must be done with the experience. Kolb’s Model

  6. Experiential Teaching • “Good teaching can powerfully encourage the development of intellectual and interpersonal competence, identity, mature interpersonal relationships, purpose, and integrity. Poor teaching can actually hinder development in one or more of these areas. • --Chickering and Reisser, Education and Identity

  7. Experiential Teaching • Establishes and fosters an environment for learning. • Opens the door for the exchange between student and educator that is required in experiential education. • Facilitates the process by framing the objectives and then works with the student as they navigate the learning cycle.
