About This Session
Description
Experiential learning is a holistic approach that emphasizes learning through experience, particularly valuable in adult basic education. This method involves engaging learners in activities that require them to reflect on their experiences, conceptualize new ideas, and apply these concepts in practical situations.
This approach is particularly effective for adult learners as it leverages their existing knowledge and experiences, making learning more relevant and impactful
What we'll cover:
We will examine Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle and how it can be integrated into adult basic education. We will also explore three innovative teaching methods: Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), and Place-Based Learning (PbL), which teachers can use to foster a more engaging and impactful learning environment for adult learners.
