Experiential Learning
Enhancing Learning and Reflection through Fieldtrips and Learning Journeys


Often, teachers who had brought their students out on fieldtrips and learning journeys lament that their learning and reflections are shallow. How can teachers maximize student learning in such situations? This workshop aims to train teachers on how to use the theory of Experiential Learning (Kolb, 1984) to design, develop and implement school-based programmes. Follow-up sessions involving coaching on the implementation and monitoring of the programmes is highly recommended.
