experiential learning

apprentissage par l’expérience

Definition:

Experiential learning is the process of learning through experience, and is more specifically defined as “learning through reflection on doing”.^[1]Hands-on learning is a form of experiential learning but does not necessarily involve students reflecting on their product.^[2][3][4] Experiential learning is distinct from rote or didactic learning, in which the learner plays a comparatively passive role.^[5] It is related to, but not synonymous with, other forms of active learning such as action learning, adventure learning, free-choice learning, cooperative learning, service-learning, and situated learning.^[6]
