Although there are times when we simply can\u2019t use this form of learning due to time constraints. However, we should look to include it whenever possible.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">A great example of this was when I taught the students a version of World History called the Big History Project. One of the topics that were covered was planet formation, and to illustrate this we went outside and the students ran in a big circle until they \u201cgravitated\u201d towards each other and linked up.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Eventually, they\u2019d all be linked, and it really drove home the point to the students what accretion was. They talked about that day for years, which certainly wouldn\u2019t have been the case if I\u2019d just mentioned it or shown them a video.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">I also used to have students simulate political deals with a simulation that put them in countries that were on the brink of fighting. It was a great lesson that, once set up, ran itself. The big reveal at the end was that their countries represented European powers prior to WWI, and they usually had a similar outcome. But not always, which led to great discussions about alternative outcomes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">I personally love the way students take control of their learning and it becomes less of looking to me for all the answers and allows the students to start making their own connections to the topic. They are forced to communicate, solve problems, and often provide their own solutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">I try to incorporate experiential education and experiential learning activities at least once a unit in my courses, and usually, those are the days the students love the most. The next day students usually ask when we\u2019re doing that again, which rarely happens on a regular school day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-25daa45 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"25daa45\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7eff8ca\" data-id=\"7eff8ca\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-481edd1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"481edd1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2.

One way to mitigate this challenge is through experiential engagement. Experiential learning is different from rote or didactic learning because learning is an active process in which the students apply and connect prior knowledge about a phenomenon to a present real-life problem.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Kolb (1984) defined experiential learning as \u201ca process, in which students create knowledge through experiential transformation.\u201d According to Kolb, learning is most effective when learning processes are:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Concrete experience (for example, students are engaged in a hands-on activity).<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Reflective observation (thinking, recording, and discussing the experience).<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Abstract conceptualization (thinking at an abstract level about why the observed processes work as they do).<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Students have actively engaged in experimenting (for example, testing hypotheses).\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Not only is experiential learning fun and interactive, but it also enhances life skills such as teamwork, communication, and creativity.
