EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) defines learning as the process whereby knowledge is created through
the transformation of experience Knowledge comes from the combination of grasping and transforming
experience (Kolb, 1984: 41)
Philosophical Roots of Experiential Learning
Pragmatism-believes that the essence of an idea comes from the consequence of its test or practice; if it works,
the idea is true or good, if it doesn't, the idea is false or bad.
Philosophical Roots of Experiential Learning
Progressivism-change is the essence of reality
-education is always in the process of development
-essence of education is continual reconstruction of experience
Kolb's Model of Experiential Learning
Concrete Experience (CE): This is the action phase. Students are encouraged to try-out the action and have a
new experience.
Kolb's Model of Experiential Learning (1984)
Reflective Observation (RO): This is the observation phase. Students are encouraged to intentionally reflect
their experience from multiple perspectives (e.g. environment, stakeholder, context, outcomes)
Abstract Conceptualization (AC): This is the integration phase. Students integrate experience into existing
schemas and theories. As a result, a new concept is formed and can be applied to future experience(s).
Active Experimentation (AE): This is hypothesizing and trial phase. Students are encouraged to hypothesize
what will happen and try the action out by making decisions and solving problems.

Notes on Observation
Observation-core of FS 1; attitudes, beliefs and practices that are effective in teaching and learning
3 major objects of observation:
1. Environment-context (classrooms, learning spaces, activities) in which teaching and learning occur
2. Learners- whose growth & development, characteristics and diversity influence how they interact, how they
respond to teaching, shown in their on-task and off-task behavior
3. Teachers-guide and facilitators, managers of learning, techniques they use, philosophy of education, personal
and professional characteristics that influence their teaching and learning strategies
After Observation
Mnemonics- OAR (Observe, Analyze, Reflect)
Observe- I shall look and see and listen and hear. I should be able to record what I see and hear.
Analyze-l shall examine closely what I observed, relate it to theories, principles and concept that I already
know.
Reflect- I shall think deeply of what I have observed, connect it to my past experiences, present undertakings
and future goals and plans as a teacher.
EPISODE 2:
Learner Diversity: Developmental Characteristics, Needs and Interests
Observation Guide for Learners' Characteristics
a. Physical
Observe their gross motor skills how they carry themselves, how they move or walk, run, go up the
stairs, etc.
Are gross movements clumsy or deliberate/smooth?
How about their fine motor skills? Writing, drawing, etc.
b. Social
Describe how they interact with teachers and other adults.

skills

economic Status, Difficult Circumstances, and Indigenous Peoples

EPISODE 4:
Learner Diversity: The Community and Home Environment
Baumrind's Parenting Styles
Authoritarian-very firm with their children and expect unwavering and unquestioning obedience. Rules
are set by parents and misbehavior is met with withdrawal of affection, physical punishments or threats.
Permissive-not firm or controlling; have few expectations; warm and - caring but may appear to be
uninvolved and uninterested.
Rejecting-Neglecting-disengaged from children; neither demanding nor responsive to children; provide
no structure, supervision, support or guidance
Authoritative-achieves a good blend; firm yet loving; clear and reasonable expectations and limits for
children; treat children with respect and warmth; understand the consequence of their behavior
Children of:
Authoritarian Parents- often unhappy, fearful, withdrawn, inhibited, hostile **and aggressive; have
low self-esteem and difficulty with peers
Permissive Parents- often impulsive, aggressive and lack self-control; may they have low levels of
independence and responsibility
Rejecting-Neglecting Parents- are found to be the least competent in their -over-all functioning and
adjustment.
Authoritative Parents- are socially. competent, self-reliant, and have greater ability to show self-
control. They have higher self-esteem and are better adjusted.

classroom where, when creating audio-visual presentations, the following are observed:

Students are involved in the deign of rules and procedures
Techniques to acknowledge and reinforce acceptable behavior are employed.
Clear limits for unacceptable behavior are established and negative consequences for such are
communicated
Classroom processes are democratic
EPISODE 6:
Classroom Management and Classroom Routines

EPISODE 9:
Preparing for Teaching and Learning
These are time-tested principles of teaching and learning
1 Effective learning begins with setting clear expectations and learning outcomes
2 Learning is an active process. "What I hear, I forget, what I see, I remember, what I do, I understand
3 Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning of ideas Students are given the opportunity to connect what
they learn with other concepts learned, with real world experiences and with their own lives
4. Learning is a cooperative and collaborative process
EPISODE 10:
The Instructional Cycle
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Use of Teaching Methods
1. Learning is an active process.
2. The more senses that are involved, the more and the better the learning.
3. A non-threatening atmosphere enhances learning.
4. Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning.
5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information.
6. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students' everyday life.
7. An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated bits of information.
When you apply OBTL (Outcome-based Teaching and Learning), you see to it that the teaching-learning
activities (TLAs) and in turn the Assessment Tasks (Ats) are aligned with the intended learning outcomes.
EPISODE 11:
Utilizing Teaching-Learning Resources and ICT
Criteria for evaluating resources

date.
2. Appropriateness. The resource is grade/level- appropriate. The content matches what is needed by the
teacher
3. Clarity. The resource clearly addresses the instructional goals in mid
4. Completeness. The content is complete It has all the information needed to be able to use them
5. Motivation. The resource is engaging and rewarding to learners It will encourage the active participation of
the learners
6. Organization. The resource is logically sequenced. It clearly indicates which steps should be taken The
procedures or processes flow smoothly

Towards Teacher Quality: Developing a Global Teacher of the 21st Century
The term "Teach local, reach global" means that the teacher brings diverse experiences in the classroom with
the various skills to work and live as citizens of a global society. What teachers do in the local community
impacts the larger community. As global citizens, the work begins, where the teachers are, thus a "glocal"
teacher.
