Experiential Learning

What is Experiential Learning?

Based on the concept of “learning by doing” by psychologist John Dewey, Kolb and Rogers build their models for experiential learning. Rogers(1969) highlighted the importance of experiential learning, which is about the application knowledge, in contrast to cognitive learning, which is the academic knowledge such as vocabulary learning. Rogers believes that experiential learning addresses the needs and wants of individual and is related to personal change and growth.
