  • Look to the News. Reading about the stories of real-life storms or situations that actually occurred can help students connect better to what they are learning in the classroom. This helps students recognize that these are issues that really happen outside of the classroom, and that they are not just stories in a textbook.
  • Invite Guest Speakers to the Classroom. Connect the students to real-world experiences is to invite a guest speaker into the classroom. Guest speakers have a wealth of knowledge and give students a real insight into a specific topic better than any textbook or article can.
  • Take a Class Field Trip. Allow students to experience and observe the world around them by taking them outside of the classroom. This can be through technology, such as a virtual field trip.
  • Simulate a Real-Life Experience. If you are reading a non-fiction book about an important trial, for instance, then have students simulate the trial by dressing up and taking on the roles of the involved parties. This will give students an inside look into what it felt like to actually be in the courtroom during this time that they read about. And by taking on the roles of the characters, students will get a sense of what the person went through while they were there.
  • Give Students a Real, Tangible Problem to Solve. Bringing real-world experiences into the classroom is a great way to give students a memorable experience that they can always take with them. Whichever approach you choose to try, remember that your goal is to create an authentic experience that will help students engage in their learning more.

    Benefits of Experiential Learning

    • Opportunity to immediately apply knowledge. Experiential learning can allow students to immediately apply things they are learning to real-world experiences. This helps them retain the information better.

    • Promotion of teamwork. Experiential learning often involves working in a team, so learning in this setting allows students to practice teamwork.

    • Improved motivation. Students are more motivated and excited about learning in experiential settings. Experiments are exciting and fun for students, and they will be passionate about learning.

    • Opportunity for reflection. Students using the experiential model are able to spend time reflecting about what they are experiencing and learning. This is valuable as they are able to better retain information when they can think about what’s happening to them.

    • Real world practice. Students can greatly benefit from learning that helps them prepare for the real world. Experiential learning is focused on using real situations to help students learn, so they are then better prepared for their future.

  • Learning by doing. This is the basis for the experiential learning theory. Experiential learning focuses on the idea that the best ways to learn things is by actually having experiences. Those experiences then stick out in your mind and help you retain information and remember facts. 

    • For teachers, creating opportunities for students to have experiences based on the things they are learning about is key. Teachers can help create environments where students can learn and have experiences at the same time.

  • inadequate (informed) student choice
  • bias in what is covered
  • lack of adequate debriefing
  • personal exposure in class and community
  • issues of deception
  • role behavior being personalized (by self and others)
  • the negative impact of feedback (planned or spontaneous)
  • the degree of “boundedness” of experiential activities 
  • controversial
  • students' ability to make sense  

    • These problems are not inevitable, but with instructor awareness can be lessened.
