Experiential Learning as a Transformative Education Approach: A Conceptual Framework
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study examines experiential learning as a contemporary educational approach that emphasises the integration of experience, reflection, and application in the learning process. Drawing on secondary data from recent scholarly literature, the research analyses the theoretical foundations, practical applications, and outcomes associated with experiential learning in higher education and professional contexts. The findings indicate that experiential learning enhances student engagement, critical thinking, and the development of transferable skills, particularly in relation to employability and real-world problem-solving. The study also explores the role of reflective practices and digital technologies in strengthening experiential learning environments. At the same time, it considers key challenges, including issues related to assessment and implementation consistency.
