Upon Their Craft: A Qualitative Research Report

Resumen

This paper reports on unique, if not unprecedented, qualitative research conducted to increase knowledge and understanding of experiential educators’ perceptions of the current state and future of their craft. Perceptual data were gathered using a six-item sentence completion method. Multiple, rich and interesting themes emerged upon analysis of that data set. Additionally, data were gathered on the experiential educators’ views of seven dynamics within EL environments and their relative importance.
