CONFUSION

There appears to be general confusion about the difference between experiential learning and related terms. People appear to want to redirect this term to several different terms experiential education and active learning being the two most recent. There is a significant body of literature specifically and directly related to E.L. in and on its own rights. The term is significant to warrant it's own consideration. Finally the redirection replicates an ongoing issue in the literature that uses terms related to E.L. in a synonymous way. (Dr adventure 06:58, 6 November 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Agree. Early on the article emphasises how experiential learning is something that happens without a teacher, and then it gradually shifts more and more into experiential education (without saying so) and describing the qualities of a great teacher. This contradiction needs resolving, and if using the word facilitator in place of teacher, that also needs some explaining. RGreenaway (talk) 19:37, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kolb's list of 4 musts. I think this needs a page/book reference to make these statements verifiable. I am doubtful that these are Kolb's words or are an accurate paraphrase of what he says. RGreenaway (talk) 19:37, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aristotle quote

Does anyone have a reference for the quote from Aristotle? Google turns up a bunch of hits, all attributing the quote to Aristotle, but I haven't found a single one that gives a source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.113.89.79 (talk) 21:32, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I will add the citation to the article now. • Freechild'sup? 04:38, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

References need work

"D'Jungle People Experiential Learning Consultants Malaysia" - Now there's a whacky reference! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.255.126.57 (talk) 01:10, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In general, the article contains a large number of unsubstantiated assertions. It's not that I necessarily disagree with all of the statements, but they need to be cited (and in some cases clarified). I added the "Additional citations needed" template to the page, indicated some of the claims that need verification, and removed the non-existent Confucius quote. I'll try to put some more work into this over the next couple of weeks-- I'm reviewing this subject for my comprehensive exams. Edalton (talk) 15:57, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This theory explores the link between experience and learning and investigates the way experience affects learning. John Dewey, Lenin and Piaget all developed models that depicts the learning process. See: Kolb, D.A. (1984):Experiential learning: experience as thesource of learning and development Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall. Lisa D. Scott (talk) 17:15, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
