Abstract

Experiential learning (EL) involves a direct encounter with the phenomena being studied rather than merely thinking about the encounter, or only considering the possibility of doing something about it. Experiential learning can be defined in terms of an instructional model, which begins with the learner engaging in direct ‘experience’ followed by reflection, discussion, analysis and evaluation of the experience. (Borzak, 1981: 9 quoted in Brookfield, 1983) ‘Experiential learning takes place when: (a) a person is involved in an activity, (b) he looks back and evaluates it, (c) he determines what was useful or important to remember, and (d) he uses this information to perform another activity’ (Kolb, 1984). Experiential learning can also be defined as a process by which the learner creates meaning from direct experience (Dewey, 1938).
