FIELD STUDY
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
• Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) defines learning as ’the process whereby
knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. Knowledge results
from the combination of grasping and transforming experience’.
• It emphasizes the importance of experience and its role in the learning process
(learning-by-doing and reflective thinking)
Examples:
1. Growing a garden
2. Field Trips (Zoo excursions)
FIELD STUDY
PHILOSOPHICAL ROOTS OF ELT
PRAGMATISM
• It is a classical philosophy which believes that the essence of an idea comes from
the consequence of its test or practice; if it works, the idea is true or good, if it
doesn’t, the idea is false or bad. It is called experimentalism (Pierce), practicalism
(James), and instrumentalism (Dewey).
FIELD STUDY
PHILOSOPHICAL ROOTS OF ELT
PROGRESSIVISM
• It is a contemporary educational theory that views that change, not permanence, is
the essence of reality.
• It declares that education is always in the process of development.
