WHAT IS EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING?
The definition of experiential is derived from or providing the experience (Merriam-Webster, n.d.).
In layman's terms, experiential learning is gaining a deeper understanding through discovery, relevant practice, or by actions. Our team presents students with the opportunity to foster deeper learning through a continuous cycle of discovery that enhances active learning. We provide a cycle of learning utilizing Kolb's learning cycle theory. This cycle involves four stages called concrete learning, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation (Near-Life,2020).
