Abstract

Experiential learning is a philosophy and methodology in which educators purposefully engage with students in direct experience and focused reflection in order to increase knowledge, develop skills, and clarify values. David Kolb is best known for his work on the experiential learning theory and published this model in 1984. Teachers can help create environments where students can learn and have experiences at the same time. Teachers who understand learning theories can better optimize their classroom and help more students learn in ways that work for them. Being a successful teacher means focusing on how best to help students succeed. It encourages the idea that learning is a lifelong process and that we needn’t stick to traditional learning methods to develop personally or professionally.
