Learning to Transform

Let’s not confuse transformational learning with the transmission of knowledge. Transmitting knowledge is easy. A classroom probably doesn’t need us if we relied only on sending knowledge to students. We could email it to them.

Seven Features of Experiential Learning

We teachers know that a learner who is directly involved in their learning encodes strong memories. Additionally, we recognise that numerous situations lend themselves to experiential learning. Learning to swim, for instance. I’ve yet to meet anyone who learned to swim by reading about it. Sooner or later, you’ve got to take the plunge and experience swimming.

Understanding Constructivism

Constructivist Learning Theory states that learners actively construct their understanding and knowledge through experiences, interactions, and reflection.

It means engaging students in meaningful activities that connect to their prior knowledge and real-world contexts. It’s child-centred learning. Many of us have embraced it with varying degrees of success.
