Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive, Philosophy & Social Aspects 

Throughout our lives learning is taking place all the time as a result of our experiences of doing. This is experiental learning. This book aims to demonstrate that experiental learning can be successful, where it can best be applied and how it improves the motivation of the learner. The book discusses some of the fundamental issues of experiental learning including links with traditional teaching styles, the notion of the learning cycle and the way in which learners behave. It also considers practical issues such as selecting materials, writing exercises, outdoor education and encouraging triumphs and disasters. In the final section of the book there are 15 exercises for groups, with photocopiable material for learners and notes for tutors. The book is suitable for use by teachers at secondary level and for work training schemes. - from Amzon
