Description
Recent attention on experiential learning emphasizes its positive effects on student engagement and educational outcomes. This approach, which involves hands-on experiences and reflection, is celebrated for making education more dynamic and relevant. This study used qualitative methods, including interviews and surveys with students and educators, to examine these effects. Findings indicate that experiential learning significantly boosts student engagement by making education more interactive and relevant, increasing motivation, interest, and knowledge retention. Additionally, there is a positive correlation between experiential learning and improved academic performance, critical thinking skills, and self-efficacy. Educators observed that students applied their knowledge more effectively in practical contexts. The study concludes by advocating for the integration of experiential learning into curricula to enhance educational outcomes and better prepare students for real-world challenges.
