Experiential learning:
  • Stems off the theorists John Dewey and Jean Piaget 
  • Learning through your experiences - educating through first-hand experiences

The experiential learning theory created by David A. Kolb and Ron Fry is based on the notion that learning is a process whereby knowledge is created through transformation of experience. The four main elements based off this theory that a repeatedly cycled over and over in this process are: 
  • Concrete experience
  • Reflective observation
  • Abstract conceptualization
  • Active experimentation


Creative Pedagogies:

  • The founder of Creative Pedagogy, Dr. Andrei Aleinikov, defined it in the form of formula of invention – a strict word pattern used to describe inventions for patenting in technology:

  • “Creative pedagogy that includes educational influence on the learner for acquisition of certain study material (subject) [as pedagogy in general] and differing from the above by the fact that in order to achieve higher efficiency of learning, the pedagogical influence is provided on the background of centrifugal above-the-criticism mutual activity in which the learner is raised from the object of [pedagogical] influence to the rank of a creative person, while the traditional (basic) study material is transformed from the subject to learn into the means of achieving some creative goal, and the extra study material includes the description and demonstration of the heuristic methods and techniques.”


Goal based learning 

  • By Dr. Roger Schank 
  • A model of constructivist learning that is a combination of case-based learning and the process of learning by doing.
  • The intent of this learning to provide motivation, a sense of accomplishment.
  • Empowering learners to take control of their own learning journeys
  • Adopting a goal-based approach and making it social can really help to maximise the knowledge networks within your organisation.

Holistic Learning  
  • Holistic approaches to teaching and learning recognize the connectedness of mind, body and spirit. 
  • When early childhood educators take a holistic approach they pay attention to children's physical, personal, social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing as well as cognitive aspects of learning

Reggio Emilia  

  • The Reggio Emilia approach is an educational philosophy focused on preschool and primary education. It is a pedagogy described as student-centered and constructivist that utilizes self-directed, experiential learning in relationship-driven environments.

-       Experiential learning is the process of learning through experience. 
-       The learner is an active participant in the educational process.
-       Experiential learning is based on four main elements (Concrete experience, Reflective observation, Abstract conceptualization and Abstract experimentation) which operate in a continuous cycle during the learning experience.
Kolb’s experiential learning style: 
-       1. Concrete Experience - (a new experience or situation is encountered, or a reinterpretation of existing experience). 

-       2. Reflective Observation of the new experience. (of particular importance are any inconsistencies between experience and understanding). 

-       3. Abstract Conceptualization (reflection gives rise to a new idea, or a modification of an existing abstract concept). 

-       4. Active Experimentation (the learner applies them to the world around them to see what results).

 

Reggio Emilia:
 
·      Focus is on understanding children as capable, inquisitive, autonomous and active learners.
·      Emphasis is placed on making connections between the affective and the cognitive and expressing ideas through arts activities like drawing and movement. 
·      Children know where their art materials come from, they participate in acquiring them, they are encouraged to use them judiciously, they clean up and know what happens when they dispose of the materials. From the beginning students learn the consequences of their actions.
·      Example of this approach is; play based learning in the early years of education.
·      There is great emphasis on collaborative projects.
·      Students interests are taken into consideration.
·      This approach allows students to explore.
 
 
Creative pedagogies:
 
• The science and art of creative teaching.
• A sub- field of pedagogy, opposed to critical pedagogy.
• Aim to teach students how to learn creatively and become creators of themselves and creators of their future.
• Creative pedagogies generalizes: art classes, technical creativity, creative problem solving, creatively-oriented courses.
