Experiential Learning

"Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first and the lesson afterwards"
Vernon Law

Experiential learning occurs when a person:

• engages in some activity
• reflects on what has occurred
• gains some useful insights from their reflection
• puts the results to work, through changes in their thinking and behaviour

This process is experienced spontaneously in everyone's ordinary life. The potential for learning is available to each of us; with each new experience, we consciously or subconsciously ask ourselves questions to try and seek clarity and understanding about a particular situation or experience.
