Experiential Learning in Class

Why debrief?

© Todd Fitch, Janet Watson, 2016


Why debrief?
• Clarity
• Engagement with classmates
• Create environment to disagree
• Opinions matter
• Drives home point through exploration

© Todd Fitch, Janet Watson, 2016


Designing EL from your notes
• What is the intent or main outcome to take
away?
• What are common misconceptions people
have?
• What is the question you want students to
answer?
• Turn question into EL:

Let’s try one on….volunteers?

Defining EL’s and why they
matter…

© Todd Fitch, Janet Watson, 2016


This probably looks all too familiar for
some of you…

When I was about 5, my neighbor Gary


Widlund and I took turns painting each
other
With black paint used for the planter my
mom had assigned us to paint. It got
messy
And so did the lesson I learned from that
experience.

• Experiential learning is the process of
learning through experience, and is
more specifically defined as "learning
through reflection on doing".

© Todd Fitch, Janet Watson, 2016


Another view….
• 1) A "concrete experience”

• 2) a “contemplation phase”

• 3) the "application" or
"conceptualization" phase

© Todd Fitch, Janet Watson, 2016


• 1) A "concrete experience" (Enfield, 2001, Kolb,
1984), where the leaner is involved in an
exploration, actually doing or performing an
activity of some kind;
• 2) a “contemplation phase”, which is usually
referred to in the literature as a reflection stage
(Enfield, 2001; Kolb, 1984; Pfeiffer & Jones, 1981),
whereby the learner shares reactions and
observations publicly and processes the
experience by discussing and analyzing; and
• 3) the "application" or "conceptualization" phase
that helps the learner deepen and broaden their
understanding of the concept or situation by
cementing their experience through
generalizations and applications (Carlson & Maxa,
1998).

Why…?
• Solidifies the learning
• Builds on lessons
• Easy implementation
• Required for Millennial brain
• Provides practice for super skills
– Communication
– Collaboration
– Critical Thinking
– Creativity=innovation and invention

APPLICATION

Choose your own topic/lesson and think or


create an effective EL activity to your
chosen topic. Discuss your output in front
for 2-3 minutes

© Todd Fitch, Janet Watson, 2016


We don’t need no stinkin’ rules….
• Curiosity comes 1st
• Embrace the mess-trial and error is good
• Practice reflection/debrief
• Questions=seeds of learning

• Intention as important as attention!

The art of ‘spontaneous’ EL

The Answer
• It’s not about right answer, it’s about
analytical process to get to AN answer.
• There isn’t always a right answer –
especially in qualitative classes.
• Sometimes, there is a numerical answer.
• Take a position and defend it.
• It’s the time and process that counts!
