Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"Full of creative ideas that can be used by trainers and facilitators to develop their range of skills...The book illustrates the sort of issues that managers and HR specialists should consider when deciding whether to use such events to develop and motivate staff. In particular, it will help them to formulate the sort of questions that need to be asked of experiential learning providers before handing over some of their cash from hard-earned training budgets." (People Management)

"This book is valuable for all the boundary crossing it does. Other books on the subject do not go far beyond the walls of higher education, but this book draws on a huge range of sources... A stimulating collection of ideas and examples that encourages experimentation." (Dr Roger Greenaway, Reviewing Skills Training)

"The range of coverage is impressive." (Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning)

"Beard and Wilson manage to smoothly lead the reader on a superlative tour of must see concepts and principles." (Horizons Magazine)

"I think you have written a beauty here and I suspect it is going places." (International Association of Experiential Education)

Reseña del editor

This handbook pulls together for the first time both the theory and the practice of experiential learning and all types of learning that employ activity-based experience. Based on sound theoretical underpinning, and making full use of examples and guidance for successful implementation, Experiential Learning enables readers to unlease some of the more potent indgredients of learning through experience.

'Everything that can possibly provide, or affect, a learning experience, is discussed: most theories of learning, and every conceivable way to interest learners in an activity...Even very accomplished developers who prepare learning experiences for all types of learners, from grade level classes through executive seminars can undoubtedly find many ideas to expand the design options upon which they can draw.' Leadership and Organisational Development Journal.

Previously known as The Power of Experiential Learning.
