A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In a fast-paced and innovative world, traditional training methods can no longer be relied on to improve performance, engagement or promote behavioural change. Experience-based learning is more affordable, appealing and effective than ever before. Experiential Learning combines in-depth theory with international case studies from companies including Interface, Shell and the UK National Health Service (NHS) and numerous practical tools to consider when developing and delivering learning experiences in either for-profit or not-for-profit organizations. It presents a simple model, the Learning Combination Lock, which enables trainers, coaches, facilitators and educators to select the best strategies for their circumstances to maximize comprehension, knowledge retention and application. Essential reading for anyone designing and delivering learning experiences, it covers experiential learning activities, experience and intelligence, coaching and facilitation, best practice and ethics, learning environments (both indoor and outdoor) and working with the senses and emotions to help promote behavioural change.

In addition to featuring new international case studies, this fully revised 4th edition of Experiential Learning considers how to develop positive habits for learning, covers the mechanisms that help people to learn and the reviewing and reflection process. It also explores the topics of gamification, 3D learning and virtual reality. Online supporting resources include audio files that introduce sensory intelligence.
