Here is a gem from the student interviews I conducted for my PhD dissertation research. This (amazing) student has just described an example of her exposure to experiential learning methods. She is explaining the value of experiential learning.
"I feel that it’s a more practical way to go about things, about eespecially in education because I believe that education is to train us to be, for our future workplace, yeah, so, if we were supposed to study and just do rote memorization, it’s not going to work because we will just be studying on what is actually already present instead of actively challenging and thinking about the things that we are learning.
"I feel that this type of education will prepare us more for the future because the world is always changing so, we have to always be critically thinking about things and also exploring, finding out new solutions so ... in a way this experiential learning will help us to be more prepared for the future, the changing times in the future and also to meet people from different backgrounds which is very important because yeah, we all have to adapt at some point."
