A3 and A4 #ukedchat Issue is curriculum. MFL for ex wd lend itself to great work, but topics in curr not realistic enough, so it's all fake

SharonSmith_edu Nov 10 @ 3:33 PM EST

my understanding is hands on learning is experience without reflection, experiential is experience + reflection. #UKEdChat

#ukedchat Interesting interpretation. According to some theory experiential learning is more than that even and 1/2

In reply to @SharonSmith_edu

A4: I think the main answer is planning. You have to actively plan to make sure that students see and learn from real-world exper. #ukedchat

#UKEdChat - Q4. (reminder) Theory v’s practice. How do you connect the learning to the real-world?

sushconnectar Nov 10 @ 3:36 PM EST

A3 Experiential learning can lend itself 2 any subject/topic I think where conceptual connection can be boosted with sensory input #ukedchat

FarmStokehill Nov 10 @ 3:36 PM EST

A4 #ukedchat The method of connection depends on the activity! Can do this via the choice of skills, content, context, location etc

ukedchat - Moderator Nov 10 @ 3:36 PM EST

#UKEdChat I agree about realism. The curriculum has to be more based in realism and, more importantly, localism.

Reflection and discussion are key. Assess, review, reflect. #UKedchat

In reply to @ukedchat

ncjbrown Nov 10 @ 3:46 PM EST

#ukedchat A5 If exp learning is linked to reflections, then shouldn't be assessed, as reflections are very personal

As a personal process? Or more formal? #ukedchat

In reply to @DFDaniellePilch

A5 I'd argue self-assessment is most valuable in Experiential models.Formative, but student led. Summative not required. #UKEdchat
