Best Practices in Experiential Learning - Ryerson …
Prepared by Michelle Schwartz, Research Associate, for the Vice Provost, Academic, Ryerson University, 2012 1 Best Practices in Experiential Learning To determine the best Practices in Experiential Learning , it is necessary to first define Experiential Learning . In the words of Lewis and Williams (1994, ): In its simplest form, Experiential Learning means Learning from experience or Learning by doing. Experiential education first immerses learners in an experience and then encourages reflection about the experience to develop new skills, new attitudes, or new ways of thinking. The first theories of Experiential Learning arose in the mid-nineteenth century as attempts to move away from traditional formal education, where teachers simply presented students with abstract concepts, and toward an immersive method of instruction. Students would learn by doing, applying knowledge to experience in order to develop skills or new ways of thinking (Lewis & Williams, 1994, p.)
The open nature of experiential learning means that it can often be difficult to define what is and is not an experiential activity.
