Experiential Learning

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. The experiential learning theory advocates for deep learning rather than surface learning. Surface learning normally involves studying for an exam, which might be achieved through memorising information in a textbook, and information may not be retained well. In our school we provide deep learning, which normally involves learning about something using a number of different methods, from reading and experimenting to role-playing and discussing. These methods help students to truly understand what they’re learning by having them applying and discussing theories with their teachers rather than just memorising them.
