Experiential learning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Aristotle once said, "The things we have to learn before we do them, we learn by doing them."
    • Michael Stout
       
      Similarly, the best way to learn something is to teach it.
  • as John Dewey pointed out experiential learning can often lead to "mis-educative experiences". The classic example of this is the lecture experience many students have in traditional education contexts. While the content of the course might be "physics" the experiential learning might be that "I hate physics". This is mis-educative as the student should have preferably learned "I hate lectures". Experiential learning therefore can be problematic as generalizations or meanings may be misapplied. There are countless examples of this in prejudice, stereotypes, and other related areas.

      Therefore the teacher's role is to ensure that mis-educative experiences are avoided. This leads to the question, how?
  • Confucius. "Tell me and i will forget, show me and i may remember, involve me and i will understand

      This quote has been attributed to other people too. I wish there was a reference here.

  • "You teach some by what you say, teach more by what you do, but most of all, you teach most by who you are."
    • Michael Stout
       
      Which makes teaching a dangerous occupation indeed ;)
  • Experiential learning requires no teacher and relates solely to the meaning making process of the individual's direct experience. However, though the gaining of knowledge is an inherent process that occurs naturally, for a genuine learning experience to occur, there must exist certain elements. According to David Kolb, an American educational theorist, knowledge is continuously gained through both personal and environmental experiences. [4] He states that in order to gain genuine knowledge from an experience, certain abilities are required: the learner must be willing to be actively involved in the experience; the learner must be able to reflect on the experience; the learner must possess and use analitical skills to conceptualize the experience; and the learner must possess decision making and problem solving skills in order to use the new ideas gained from the experience.
  • John Dewey pointed out, experiential learning can often lead to "mis-educative experiences."[6] In other words, experiences do not automatically equate learning. The classic example of this is the lecture experience many students have in formal educational settings. While the content of the course might be "physics" the experiential learning becomes "I hate physics." Preferably, the student should have learned "I hate lectures." Experiential learning therefore can be problematic as generalizations or meanings may be misapplied.

  • Can i ask why teachers like or dislike using songs in the classroom?
  • Do you use songs with videos or just audio?
  • What about songs with taboo or swear words? Would you use them in class? For instance, teens asking for hit songs with such words.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Anyone ever encountered strong student resistence to songs in class?
  • What do you think are the QUALITIES of a good song to use in the classroom? What do you consider when choosing songs?
  • Does anyone have any ‘story songs’ to suggest (i.e. songs with stories in them)? – they are usually great to use in class
  • We believe that slow songs can help students learn intonation, elision etc., but does it really?
  • I guess the very first thing is defining why you’re playing a song in class. Is it just for fun or is there a clear learning goal?
  • Any of your students think they are “bad” in English because they don’t understand the lyrics of songs in English?
  • Any success with songs from musicals?
  • Instrumental music can be a gr8 way to frame a guided visualisation. How else do you use music without words?
  • Anyone done any football songs in class?
