Editor's Notes

  • #2 Good day. I am Ramon Garcia and today we will be looking at one of the Experience and Learning Theories developed by Peter Jarvis. While attending a workshop a few years ago I noticed that as example problems were solved by participants they gained more knowledge on how to solve the problems by working more and more of the same type of practice problems. Experience enabled each participant to explain and use several different strategies to solve the problems.
  • #3 In this presentation we will address the following questions and models. (Read slide outloud)
  • #4 Jarvis’s theory is built upon the original theory developed by David Kolb in 1984. Kolb and Jarvis theories are both developed from the constructivist point of view. (Read Slide)
  • #5 As you can see Kolb’s model is direct learning from experience, to reflecting, generalizing and applying. The cycle continues till the task becomes concrete. This model ultimately became Jarvis’s basic model for his learning theory. The learners context is not taken into consideration in this model. Experience and reflection are not related.
  • #6 These two models of experiential learning are situational in nature. A situation is presented to the learner, and is observed. The facilitator may intervene, and eventually have the learner reflect and form a personal foundation of the experience. Usher, Bryant and Johnson argue that emotion plays a vital part in the learning process.
  • #7 Jarvis learning model builds from David Kolb’s model and includes the following: (Read the slide).
  • #8 Discuss model. (Read Slide)
  • #9 Be a facilitator of reflection of the experience and encourage discussion and reflect on the new experience. Challenge students assumptions. Involve students in role-plays or problem-based learning exercises. Become the students coach or mentor. Coaching is skill learning. The mentor is the life guide. Assess the learning and provide feedback to the student. I need to mention that in the situational learning experience it is the community of practice.
  • #10 Jarvis mentions that ones biography comes with ones experience. The sisters have clearly learned from each other through experience and will never be separated.
