Experiential learning is the process of learning through experience, often defined as "learning through reflection on doing". It involves hands-on, active engagement, such as projects, field trips, or simulations, followed by critical reflection to connect the experience to theoretical concepts. This approach shifts focus from passive learning to active knowledge creation.

Core Philosophy: It is based on the work of David Kolb (1984), who proposed that knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. Experiential learning is widely used in education and professional development, moving beyond traditional textbook learning to provide a more holistic educational experience. Common Methodologies include simulations, internships, field trips, role-playing, and structured reflection (journaling). Benefits: The approach fosters deeper understanding, improves critical thinking skills, encourages learning from mistakes, and improves the ability to apply theory to real-life situations.
