Experiential Education is a process through which a learner constructs knowledge, skill and value from direct experience.
Experience Based Training and Development
Experience based training and development is a learner-centered approach to human resource development and organizational change. Rather than presenting information as a teacher/expert, the facilitator, utilizing this methodology, will create situations which invite participants to discover their own answers to challenging business issues. The information provided and solicited by the facilitator challenges participants to take action based upon their decisions.
Perhaps the most important point in defining experiential learning, is that the actions of the learners are followed by a reflective process (debrief discussions or a personal journal) during which insights generated from the challenges are related to the participants' work and home situations.
