What are the characteristics of experiential learning

Experiential learning as a way of learning compared with the traditional lecture-acceptance learning has some of the following characteristics:

1.Initiative.

Traditionally, the teacher is the center of teaching and learning, and students only need to pay attention to the lecture and take notes. Experiential learning allows learners to take the initiative, take primary responsibility for their own learning, and truly become the main body of the learning process. Experiential scenarios, student learning initiative is fully mobilized

up, unconsciously, seriously feel, operation, discovery. Students' learning is attracted by the scenario, the scenario to promote the natural integration, all the senses are automatically involved, just like travel, just like labor, just like watching movies, just like chatting. Natural participation, learning seems easy and natural.

2.

The new curriculum advocates happy learning, advocating that students from "boredom" to "good learning", from "hard learning" to "happy learning ", from "want me to learn" to "I want to learn". But it is not easy to turn learning into a happy process. Happy premise is that the learners happy emotions are mobilized, how can the learners happy emotions mobilized? There are two prerequisites, i.e., there should be things or situations that interest students and students' active participation. Interest is the direct motivation for children to learn knowledge, participate in activities, receive education and develop their abilities. It is only through "active" that the subject's intrinsic motivation can be brought into full play. Experiential learning students are generally placed in a certain real or simulated scenarios, students' interest is easy to be mobilized; experience requires students as the main body of the personal experience, the landscape to see the Mount Lushan waterfalls and video recordings, personal experience of the magnetic line, hand operation of computers, personal sports learning to play basketball, volleyball, personal recitation of poems, prose, and classmates and teachers to argue about insights, some of the experiential process is not a happy! The experience process is always a joyful thing. Therefore, experiential learning is the function of learning and entertainment together.

3. Learning to use.

Learning to use is a problem in traditional education, and one of the reasons is that students seldom have the place, time, and opportunity to apply their knowledge to solve real problems. And experiential learning, the process of learning and application directly together, or learning in real situations, or close to the real situation, more conducive to students to understand the significance of the knowledge, skills, and methods of learning, more learning to internalize the emotions, attitudes and values. For example, the second grade ideological character class 2.3 "with people" has a box of content is "to help others, with people" on this part of the content, beforehand, students are asked to help the difficult to do a good thing, the classroom to let the students talk about their experience. Students must have a lot of experience, through the exchange of classmates and the teacher's guidance, students can not only sublimated to "give us to experience their own value and ability" moral knowledge, but also practiced a moral activity.

4. The combination of reality and reality.

Experiential learning is a kind of contextualized learning, where the learning process is placed in a variety of virtual or real language situations.

5. Perceptualization

Experiential learning, the teacher designed to learn the content of the integration of the specific image of vivid, audible, visual, touchable, and students directly involved in the scenario, the students are mobilized to participate in almost all the sense organs. Students get something, some of which is difficult to reach the language portrayal, experience something often more than the language portrayal of the impact on the thinking of the larger, more profound impression on students. For example, watching the movie "a broken boat in the ocean" students on the "strong" experience than any language didactic are stronger; watch videos about mudslides than simply learning about the mudslide disaster of the text of a deep impression. Visiting widows and orphans can make students realize the meaning of "being helpful". This is a very experiential way of learning. This kind of gain for students is difficult to get in the traditional lecture-acceptance learning.

6, personal experience

Experience is the students' own experience, whether it is viewing, visits, simulations or activities, role-playing and other specific experiential learning activities, are required to students as the subject of personal involvement, personal experience. Outsiders can not be replaced, in the process of activities, all the students' sense organs are mobilized to participate in, multi-channel learning to feel. I mentioned above to watch the Lushan Falls video, magnetic wire experiments, watch the movie "a broken boat in the ocean" or to help people in difficulty, students are in the capacity of the master, personally participate in the activities, personally feel the whole process, the role of its subjective cognition can not be replaced by the teacher.

7, perceptual

Experiential learning, students can get first-hand experience, concretize the feeling, access to knowledge, skills, processes, methods, emotions and other feelings, perceptions, representations, but can not let the students' gains only stay at this level, the students also want to sublimate under the guidance of the teacher of these things, sublimation of scientific theories, literary techniques, Morals, concepts, for attitudes and values. That is, to let the students from the sense of a certain reason, moral concepts and so on. For example, watching the Lushan waterfalls, students have feelings, the teacher should guide students to exchange their views, guide students to understand the beauty of the poem, and the poet's writing techniques. The students did a good thing to help people in need, the teacher should guide the students to sublimation to the understanding of morality.
