a pedagogical approach emphasizing learning through direct involvement in real-life experiences, practical activities, and hands-on applications rather than passive classroom instruction
Experiential education is a teaching method that emphasizes learning through direct experience. Students actively engage in activities such as field trips, service learning, internships, or outdoor adventures, and reflect on these experiences to gain deeper understanding and insight. This approach helps students connect theory to practice and enhances personal growth.
