"Expriential Learning" Synonyms

For the inaugural post in this academic blog, I will share a list of synonyms for the concept of experiential learning. This is not comprehensive, so I will update this list as I continue my reading and research. The challenge with experiential learning is that the teaching method could include almost any type of activity. With chagrin, I had decided that almost any student involvement in learning other than "head down and drooling on the desk" could be considered experiential.

Here is a short list of synonyms, or methods that would deliver an educative experience. I encourage my academic and educator friends to contribute their synonyms to this list be commenting. I will add others' ideas to this list.​

• active learning
• apprenticeship
• authentic learning
• guided learning
• inquiry learning
• internship
• learning by doing
• problem-based learning
• project-based learning
• reflective learning
• service learning
• situated learning
• work-based learning
