Methods
There are many ways in which experiential education is practiced. Five of them include: Active Based Learning, Problem Based Learning, Project Based Learning, Service Learning and Place Based Learning. All of these use the pattern of problem, plan, test and reflect as their foundation for the educative experience. This is by no means an exhaustive list of methods used reflecting the philosophy of experiential education.
Active Based Learning—All participants in the group must engage actively in working together toward the stated objectives.
Problem Based Learning—Provides a structure for discovery that helps students internalize learning and leads to greater comprehension.
Project Based Learning—An instructional method that uses projects as the central focus of instruction in a variety of disciplines.
Service Learning—Providing meaningful service to a community agency or organization while simultaneously gaining new skills, knowledge and understanding as an integrated aspect of an academic program.
Place Based Learning—the process of using local community and environment as a starting point to teach concepts in language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, and other subjects across the curriculum.
