Experiential Learning
Experiential learning refers to learning which is also known as work-based learning (WBL). Hands-on experiences allow the learner to connect theory and knowledge to real-world applications. Sir Richard Branson famously said, “You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing and by falling over.”
Many students learn best through experience. Traditional lectures can sometimes be ineffective for these learners, as they may tune out or struggle to retain the information until they can apply it in a real-world context. Experiential learning bridges this gap in learning styles by providing hands-on experiences, making the material more tangible and relevant.
