Experiential Learning; a lowdown
Description
In this, our first episode of Season 6, we've been joined once more by one of our directors Shev Pring to talk about the concept of experiential learning. This educational approach is at the heart of everything we do here at The Outdoors Group and this conversation was well overdue on the podcast!
We discussed the history of this approach and the contributions made by the forefathers, David Kolb and John Dewey before looking at how it works in practice, what makes it so effective and why it's a fantastic way to approach education. We mused on the difference between a learner being intrinsically and extrinsically motivated, how this might affect the embedding of their learning and Shev gave some fantastic practical tips for those looking to incorporate experiential learning into their teaching or facilitation.
It was a really interesting and engaging conversation to be part of and as always, we hope that you enjoy listening just as much as we did making the episode!
