Types of Experiential Learning

There are lots of ways our teachers use experiential learning in the classroom, here are some of them:

Experiments – In this Teacher gives students a problem and ask them to experiment and find a solution. The teacher creates an atmosphere of no judgement and gives children the freedom to be as creative as they can.
Internships – In these students instead of going to classes are sent to do an internship for a specific period of time to gain real-world knowledge. This helps students to get exposure to work experience earlier in their life making them more knowledgeable and skilled.

Group Project – In this Teacher divide the number of students in a class into small groups and assign them a specific task so students have to work in a team to reach the goals and this will enhance their communication skills, Team working skills, Collaborative skills and Listening skills.
Research – Teachers give a topic to students and ask them to research it on their own. Then students will actively research and make a project around it and this will help them build critical analysis, report writing skills.
