从实践经验中学习
Experiential education is learning by doing or by participating in an experience. Through direct experiences with nature, people, objects, things, places, and learning by doing, scientific evidence has shown that the learning process is faster, what is learned is retained longer, and there is greater appreciation and understanding for those things that are learned first hand (Freeberg and Taylor 1963). 目的 of experiential education is to create a just and compassionate world by transforming education and promoting positive social change (Association of ExperientialEducation 手册》1995). Social change occurs when people learn and gain understanding, awareness,and appreciation of others.Experiential education involves any combination of senses (i.e., touch, smell, hearing, sight, taste), emotions(i.e., pleasure, excitement, anxiety, fear,hurt,empathy,attachment), physical condition (e.g., temperature,strength, energy level), and cognition (e.g.,constructing knowledge, establishing beliefs, solving problems)(Carver 1996). Experiential education can occur in both controlled environments, such as an outdoor backpacking trip or a ropes course, as well as the uncontrolled situations, such as learning how to do things on one’s own. When learning occurs for an individual from an experience, insights are gained into themselves and their environment.
