Experiential learning Experiential learning This approach involves engaging learners in an authentic, first hand experience that allows them to make discoveries and experiment, construct meaning and develop understanding. It is sometimes referred to more loosely as ‘learning by doing’ or ‘active learning’. Experiential learning is based on a constructivist theory of learning. The learner develops a model of how the world works by relating new knowledge to existing knowledge. The theory explains how mistakes lead to learning. Mistakes arise when we encounter a new experience that does not fit with previous experience. This makes us check and refine our understanding. The result is deep learning, rather than the shallow learning that results when we learn by rote. Experiential learning leads to affective (feeling), as well as cognitive (thinking) learning. It can be a powerful approach for developing empathy and changing attitudes. Go to the Quick start guide at .uk/teachingandlearning for more information and for practical ideas to get going. Multi-sensory learning Multi-sensory learning All learning environments are, to varying extents, multi-sensory. Seeing, listening, touching things and moving are a natural part of learning. So do we need to focus on making learning multi-sensory? Educators have advocated multi-sensory teaching techniques since the earliest teaching guides were written. By designing learning so that learners use more than one of their senses, we make it richer and more motivating. The learner is more likely to remember after a multi-sensory experience. Teachers working with dyslexic learners have found multi-sensory approaches particularly helpful. We stray into a minefield if we try to classify learners into fixed visual, auditory or kinaesthetic stereotypes. Although we may have a dominant modality, most argue that we benefit from developing all of our senses to the full. Go to the Quick start guide at .uk/teachin
