Defining the Terms

Active Learning - a range of “instructional activities involving students in

doing things and thinking about what they are doing” (Bonwell and Eison, 1991, p.5)

Experiential Learning - Lewis and Williams (1994, p.5): “In its simplest

form, experiential learning means learning from experience or learning by doing. Experiential education first immerses learners in an experience and then encourages reflection about the experience to develop new skills, new attitudes, or new ways of thinking.”

Authentic Assessment - “an assessment requiring students to use the

same competencies or combinations of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that they need to apply in the criterion situation in professional life” (Gulikers et al, p. 69)

...from a focus on covering decontextualized knowledge to an emphasis on teaching for a sense

  • f salience…

(Benner, Sutphen, Leonard & Day, 2009, p. 82)

Students like to distinguish between the classroom and the real world, and if you interact with students only in the classroom, you reinforce this false dichotomy

(Bowen, 2012, p. 136)

So Where To Now?

  • Looking Back

– What are the things that could have been done differently?

  • Looking Forward

– What questions can we continue to ask to study interventions and ideas such as these?

Thought Sharing and ?s

  • How can active learning be actualized in different contexts?
  • What principles of active learning, experiential learning and

authentic assessment overlap and how can we create synergy between these components to inspire our students and energize our learning environments?

  • How do we create more evidence to support authentic, active

and experiential approaches to learning?
