Experiential learning, what it is, why it works and why it is the basis of all LLA programmes

1. Experiential Learning
What is it?

developing personal
understanding, knowledge and
skills through the analysis of, and
reflection on, activities.
What makes Experiential Learning Special
 Experiential Learning is an active process which
engages the learner.

themselves, they are guided by coaches to And
through their learning. Thus they retain the
knowledge better

needs and the learner is encouraged to explore
different ways of thinking,
What are the benefits of
Experiential
Learning
 It is learner centred – it focusses on
the learning needs of the student.
 It is easier for the student to absorb
and relate to the learning

develop a personal understanding of
their role and how they could make
improvements through subsequent
activity
An Example of how it
works with LLA
 LLA uses a simulated work –
place called SCILplc
 Learners are “recruited” into the
company at the appropriate
level
 Tasks are set to challenge the
learner
 Students investigate the theory
behind the task , seeking
clarification from their Coach as
required to ensure they
understand the task and its
scope.
 They present their ideas on the
problem being set in the task
and their solution on how the
situation could be improved.
