Download or read book Experiential Learning written by David A. Kolb and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2015 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiential learning is a powerful and proven approach to teaching and learning that is based on one incontrovertible reality: people learn best through experience. Now, in this extensively updated book, David A. Kolb offers a systematic and up-to-date statement of the theory of experiential learning and its modern applications to education, work, and adult development. Experiential Learning, Second Edition builds on the intellectual origins of experiential learning as defined by figures such as John Dewey, Kurt Lewin, Jean Piaget, and L.S. Vygotsky, while also reflecting three full decades of research and practice since the classic first edition. Kolb models the underlying structures of the learning process based on the latest insights in psychology, philosophy, and physiology. Building on his comprehensive structural model, he offers an exceptionally useful typology of individual learning styles and corresponding structures of knowledge in different academic disciplines and careers. Kolb also applies experiential learning to higher education and lifelong learning, especially with regard to adult education. This edition reviews recent applications and uses of experiential learning, updates Kolb's framework to address the current organizational and educational landscape, and features current examples of experiential learning both in the field and in the classroom. It will be an indispensable resource for everyone who wants to promote more effective learning: in higher education, training, organizational development, lifelong learning environments, and online.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an approach to using drama therapy treatment providers who work with adult or adolescent sexual abusers and violent offenders. People attend plays for catharsis and vicarious experience, to feel through performance without harming self or others. The same principle applies to drama therapy -- role-play ignites "in-the-moment" responses that simulate real-life behavior and emotion for examination and contemplation in a safe, therapeutic environment. The book presents a variety of exercises range from warm-ups to low- and high-intensity activities, and include calming and cooling exercises as well. The focus is on using the proper exercise for the client's stage in treatment and emotional ability to participate. Information accompanies each exercise regarding the number of clients and amount of time needed to implement.
