Seven Features of Experiential Learning

We teachers know that a learner who is directly involved in their learning encodes strong memories. Additionally, we recognise that numerous situations lend themselves to experiential learning.

Understanding Constructivism

Constructivist Learning Theory states that learners actively construct their understanding and knowledge through experiences, interactions, and reflection.

It means engaging students in meaningful activities that connect to their prior knowledge and real-world contexts. It’s child-centred learning. Many of us have embraced it with varying degrees of success.
