Research on Experiential Learning: Enhancing the Process

Abstract

"In recent years there has been a growth in the number of courses based on experiential learning. These courses take many different forms, but live action projects, internships and laboratory-type interpersonal and organizational problem-solving courses seem to predominate the growth. The growth in experience-based learning has been paralleled by more activity in professional associations devoted to the examination of these teaching methods. The birth of ABSEL, the inclusion of a teaching methodology section in AIDS and the creation of the Center for the Assessment of Experiential Learning at the Educational Testing Service attest to the increasing popularity of experience-based learning.
