Experiential Learning Internal Processes
Description
This module will provide the learner with an understanding of the role experience plays in learning. The major contributories to Experiential Learning theory will be examined and the framework created by Beard and Wilson will be used to examine the internal processes of the learner in experiential learning contexts. The examination of the internal processes of the learner will take into account emotions in learning, multiple intelligences, and learning styles. Opportunities will be provided for learners to design, facilitate and evaluate experiential programmes.
