I HEAR AND I FORGET
I SEE AND I REMEMBER
I DO AND I UNDERSTAND
Confucius (Gentry JW, 1990)
Experiential learning is a learning process whereby students “learn by doing” and by reflecting on these experiences. Examples are hands-on laboratory experiments, internships, service learning, clinical education, community-based research, practicums, field work, study abroad, undergraduate research and studio performances (https://www.bu.edu/ctl/guides/experiential-learning/).
Many of us incorporate experiential learning experiences into our classes already. Some of us may want to incorporate these experiences but are looking for more information or a platform to assist us.
The CTE Experiential Learning Entrant Badge Track will provide you with the knowledge to develop experiential learning experiences in your courses. In order to earn the Entrant Badge, you attend five CTE workshops offered this semester. The CTE workshops are offered on Tuesdays at 9:30am in-person (in CTE conference room) or Wednesdays at 1pm ONLINE. 100 level workshops are introductory and 200 level workshops are advanced continuation based on having taken the 100 level workshops.
Registration for workshops is on the CTE Eventbrite website (https://cte.ggc.edu/events/)
