Experiential
The Meaning of Experiential learning focuses on the learning process for the individual. One example of experiential learning is going to the zoo and learning through observation and interaction with the bush kindergartens, as opposed to reading about knowledge from a book. Thus, one makes discoveries and experiments with knowledge firsthand, instead of hearing or reading about others' experiences, and each site has its own function for the experiencer.
Why It Is Important? We have learned some actions when we were watching the videos and learned the names of the leaves which we found during the games. Sometimes you don’t know you have learned it, but you actually have learned in the environment. For example, when the first time when I came to Kamloops, I didn’t know where to buy the food, how to take the bus and don’t know where is the classroom. However, after staying here for nearly two months, I have used to study and live here. It means that I have learned somethings in unconscious.
What Is My Action Plan? Sometimes, I don’t see the relevance of the course content to their program or career. I think maybe I should listen to other people’s thinking and try to connect with my own experience. What’s more, I will do more volunteering related to the education to enrich my experience and learn from it.
