Experiential education is a philosophy and methodology for
building knowledge, developing skills, and clarifying values by
engaging learners in direct experience and focused reflection. To
understand experiential education, what should one be reading? This
sourcebook introduces philosophers, educators, and other
practitioners whose work is relevant to anyone seeking answers to
this question. Following brief snapshots of John Dewey and Kurt
Hahn, the book is organized in four sections:
- Philosophers and Educational Theorists
- Nature Educators and Outdoor Educators
- Psychologists and Sociologists
- School and Program Founders.
Each chapter focuses on an individual whose philosophy and
practice exemplify a biographical and historical model for reaching
a deeper understanding of experiential education. An appendix
includes short biographical sketches of forty-five additional
people whose contributions to experiential education deserve a
closer look. This volume provides a much-needed overview and
foundations for the field ? for students in courses addressing
experiential education, challenge education, outdoor experiential
education, recreation education, and related fields; for learning
theorists and curriculum specialists; for experiential educators;
and for educational philosophers.
