experiential learning vs traditional learning
The idea of experiential learning- in other words- learning by experience, is widely debated, with many people claiming that the benefits it offers are no match for its drawbacks. However, I do not agree with this and I will explain in this essay.
There are a number of arguments in favour of my stance. The most preponderant one is that experiential learning requires students to cooperate and learn from each others through direct experience tied to real-world problems. It not only does allow students to observe, review and reflect on their early practices, but it also ensures that students remain motivated and actively engaged in posing questions, experimenting, investigating, being curious and problem solving. Apparently, the role of teacher in this approach is not to direct student’s performance, but to facilitate it by embedding suitable experiences and problems into classroom activities. Needless to say, all these merits will stand students in good stead when it comes to offering assistance in their natural learning aptitude.
Another pivotal aspect of this approach is that experiential learning can be applied in high school or college curriculum set in a verity of project-based, campus based and community contexts. As per modern schools of thought, far from encouraging root learning, this approach can be more likely to prepare students to be contributing members and leaders of local, nation and global communities.
In the view of the arguments outlined above, one can conclude that the benefits of experiential learning are indeed too great to ignore.
- Whether studying films at school is as important as studying literature(written books)? 72
- Do you think that the English Language will continue to remain as the global language despite globalization? Support your point of view. 72
- Effective learning requires time, comfort and peace, so it is impossible to combine study and employment. Study and employment distract one from another. To what extent do you think the statements are realistic? Support your opinion with examples 61
- Extreme sports like skiing, rafting, diving should be banned. Agree or disagree? Argumentative / persuasive/ opinionated type essay. 11
- Modern technology has a great impact on our environment. Some say that people should adopt a simple lifestyle to solve this problem, while others argue that the technology itself should provide a solution 77
