Constructivism
Experiential Learning is the most natural way for human beings to create learning. Experiential Learning is a powerful methodology based on Constructivism.
We are living the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Revolution 4.0) that has led to an evolution of education that adapts to the imminent changes we are experiencing. Experiential Learning is a participatory methodology that, based on the Theory of Constructivism, has conquered the avant-garde educational world and the corporate world globally, because to the knowledge are added: doing, emotions and reflections so that learning is put into practice towards objectives and results.
X-learning is a practical proposal that is adapted to e-learning processes such as b-learning (blended learning), based on Experiential Learning. X-learning is a model to enhance PEAs (teaching-learning processes) applicable to training and education programs adapted to virtual environments, maintaining the high impact of magic and the power of Experiential Learning, Debriefing, Heuristic Learning. Metacognition, stimulating the creation of a PLE, incorporating principles of Andragogy, Paragogy, Heutagogy, and generating, based on Contructivism and Connectivism, memorable experiences for a Meaningful Learning.
“Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results.”
“Learning, from the Neurosciences, is a new relationship that is created between neurons and remembering is maintaining that relationship socially active.”
“At school we learn the lesson and then we are put to the test; in life, we are first put to the test and then, only if we are vigilant, do we learn the lesson.”
Experiential Learning is the most natural way for human beings to create learning. Experiential Learning is a powerful methodology based on Constructivism.
We understand Experiential Learning as the generation of a theory of action, based on an experience, which ideally should be continuously modified to improve results.
Constructivism is a model centered on the person, on their previous experiences, from which they build new cognitive structures, which they see continuously modified.
