Experiential Learning: Rationale, Characteristics and Assessment.
Keeton, Morris T.; And Others
The history of post secondary education in the U.S., and the role of experiential learning in its improvement are discussed. Topics of discussion include: the relationship of experiential learning to individuals' information processing, the need to clarify objectives, and the potential effect of new educational objectives on teaching and institutions of higher education. The cost effectiveness of experiential learning and implications for university administration are also discussed. The contributors address the state of the art in the assessment of experiential learning, recommend standards for assessment, and suggest approaches to the improvement of assessment practices.
