Nowadays it is
essential for the students to learn more beyond their text books and
know the way to practically apply the things that they learn in the
real life. In this situation, it is necessary for the educational
institutions to add experiential learning in their curriculum. In
simple terms experiential learning can be stated as experience based
learning, creation of knowledge by transforming experience and it is
about application knowledge.
Experiential
learning cycle involves:-
* Concrete
experience
* Reflective
observation
* Abstract
conceptualization
* Active
experimentation
Experiential
learning will help the students to know their area of interest as
they are able to learn what they do. Schools have to teach problem
solving skills to the students and ways to handle real life
situations from young age itself. Teachers and parents have to
encourage the students to find different solutions for specific
problems. As experience teaches more than anything, students will be
able to know their strength and weakness.
Teachers need to
make the students what they learn by exhibiting real time examples.
Students have to be given different roles and tasks which will enable
them to develop their skills. Teachers has to have a good
relationship with the students, guide them, listen to what the
students says and help them in making decisions.
In this learning,
students also must be cooperative to achieve the real goal. Students
have to actively take part in the experience based learning. They
must have the ability to reflect on the experience, use analytical
skills to conceptualize the experience, have decision making and
problem solving skills. This will enable them to gain knowledge from
the experience.
Make use of
experiential learning inorder to enable the students to handle the
real life situations with confidence and enhance their knowledge.
