Teaching Strategies: Experiential Learning and Field Work


Experiential learning is the process whereby students “learn by doing” and by reflecting on the experience. Experiential learning activities can include, but are not limited to, hands-on laboratory experiments, practicums, field exercises, and studio performances. The article in this section describes how experiential learning can be incorporated into college courses.
