The paper presents how to apply David Kolb's experiential learning cycle into the designing experiential learning activities for students in teaching Biology. Based on the objective, content, and learning style of the student, the teacher designs learning tasks at four stages of the experiential cycle: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualisation and active experimentation. Each stage of the experiential learning cycle can be taken many forms of learning activity, so the teacher needs to select the appropriate types of activity for each stage and put the stages into a closed cycle to organize the learning. The article also provides an illustrative example of applying  experiential cycle in designing learning activities in teaching Biology in general school.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of experiential learning activity in deep conceptual understanding of science in comparison with conventional teaching model. In the present experiment quasi experimental and post-test research design is implemented. Totally 80 students participate in the study: 40 girls and 40 boys. The sample is categorized into two: study and the control group. Each group consists of 40 students: 20 boys and 20 girls. The study group is taught “Gases Law” by using experiential learning activities and the control is taught by using the conventional method. Data is collected by using a questionnaire and it consists of 20 multiple choice questions. The collected data is analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The examination of the data illustrates that there is no noteworthy difference in the mean score between the study group and the control group. Independent ‘t-test’ is applied to compare the student’s achievement in post-test. The mean score of the study group, who are exposed to the experiential learning activities, in Science Achievement post-test is 17.35. It is higher than that of (t=6.65; p>0.01) the learners in the control group. The mean of the control group is 14.45. Therefore, it is concluded that the experiential learning activities as a teaching model enhances the deep conceptual understanding of science.

Learning Principles

PAUD institutions are often interpreted as a place of learning for children who are only oriented to the skills and knowledge of reading, writing, counting, and drawing. PAUD institutions should focus on children's development related to religious and moral, physical, cognitive, language, social, emotional and artistic aspects. Thus the educational services provided by PAUD institutions must be able to facilitate all aspects of child development through enjoyable learning activities and help increase understanding of parents or the surrounding community about playing as a fun learning activity. Fun learning activities for early childhood need to be designed to help children get real life simulations in their daily activities. PAUD institution learning activities need to be adjusted to the stages of child development based on experiential learning model learning principles. On that basis, an activity is needed that facilitates the creation of learning experiences for managers and parents or community members in PAUD institutions about experiential learning.Keywords: Childhood Education (PAUD), Experiential Learning

Experience Based Learning

In Vietnam, experiential activities and experience-based learning models were first introduced in 2018 into the general education curriculum and they will be applied when implementing this program. Therefore, the teacher training program at university of education should meet the requirements of general education reform. In particular, it is essential to guide pedagogical students to design and organise experiential learning activities in the school. This study describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a course of guiding to design and organise experience-based learning in schools for Vietnamese pedagogical students who will plan to implement experience-based learning activities into their teaching. A course in a 60-hour instructional process (including 30 hours of self-studying) with 5 activities designed to be experiential, enables our students to simultaneously explore and practice experience-based learning activities. The results of designing and organising 55 experience-based learning activity plans were obtained from one hundred and nine participants of the Faculty of Biology, Thai Nguyen University of Education, Vietnam who assessed the instructional process beneficially. The research group also proposed five effective measures to organise experiential learning in high school. This tutorial process will continue to be improved and implemented in subsequent courses to contribute to the renovation of higher education and meet the general educational improvement in Vietnam.

The Impact

            The curriculum framework asserts learner to debate, dissent form individual opinion on ideas, systems, practices by nurturing skills to think and reason independently.  Participatory learning activity is envisioned as a process whereby learners construct concept through assimilation, absorption, interaction and reflection.  In the present paper experiential learning activity are designed to ensure that the students are encouraged to seek out knowledge from their hands-on activity than the text book in their own experiences. In the present paper attempt is made to investigate the impact of conventional method of teaching and experiential learning activities on attainment of knowledge and retention of knowledge in learning redox reaction.  Data is collected by using pre-test, post-test and retention test.  Instrument is validated by experts.  Stratified random method is applied to draw the sample.  Totally 50 students participate in the study.  Sample is separated into two: control and the study group. Control group is exposed to the conventional chalk and talk method while the students from the study group are exposed to Experiential Learning Activities.  The result of the study reveals that there is noteworthy difference in the mean score in learning redox reaction in the scores of pre-test, post-test and retention test between the study group and the control group.

Student Reflections

This chapter aims at examining, through a case study, student perceptions of interactive learning activities based on the experiential learning model in Second Life (SL). Undergraduate students in an Honors Program reflected on their learning experiences in a blended learning course that took place both in person and in SL for four weeks. Student reflections on two main learning tasks: discussion about assigned readings and SL field trips which include simulating and gaming, were recorded in weekly journals. Sixty journal entries were the data source for coding. Student experiences of the learning tasks are predominately positive with some challenges. Positive views include: excitement, enhanced confidence, motivation for learning, and increased knowledge. Challenges were mostly due to technical issues. Instructor interventions, including ground rules for online conversation and tech support, were important in minimizing barriers to student learning in virtual worlds.

Teacher Needs

Teachers in pre-learning activities of appreciation of poetry in high school need to select appropriate learning materials in order to meet the curriculum 2013. In 2013, the educational curriculum is oriented to national values, because it is one of the parts of the character education, which consists of education of values, education of ethics, education of moral, and education of characters. One of the implementations of the character education is by selecting instructional materials for appreciation of poetry that focuses on religious and nation values. In the pre-stage of this learning activity, the teacher needs to prepare the content of the poem that contains character education, namely religious and nation values, by means of interpreting connotative words, ambiguity associated with denotative words, and interpreting the meaning of the poem to understand its meaning. An alternative learning material of appreciation of poetry in high school can be taken from W.S. Rendra’s poems called Penance, After Confession, Come O God, Prayer of Hunger, and A Soldier's Prayer Before the War. Guru dalam tahap pra-kegiatan pembelajaran apresiasi puisi di Sekolah Menengah Atas perlu melaksanakan pemilihan materi pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan Kuriklum 2013. Dalam Kurikulum 2013 nilai pendidikan tersebut berorientasi kepada 18 nilai pendidikan karakter bangsa yang merupakan bagian dari pendidikan karakter yang terdiri atas pendidikan nilai, pendidikan budi pekerti, pendidikan moral, dan pendidikan watak. Salah satu implementasi nilai pendidikan berkarakter bangsa dalam pemilihan materi pembelajaran apresiasi puisi ini berfokus pada nilai religius. Pada tahap pra- kegiatan pembelajaran ini guru perlu mempersiapkan materi puisi yang mempunyai kandungan nilai-nilai pendidikan karakter bangsa, yaitu nilai religius dengan cara mengartikan kata-kata konotatif dan ambiguity yang dihubungkan dengan kata-kata denotatif, dan menginterpretasi makna dalambait puisi sehingga makna puisi secara keseluruhan dapat diketahui. Alternatif pemilihan materi pembelajaran apresiasi puisi di Sekolah Menengah Atas dapat diambil puisi-puisi karya W.S. Rendra yang berjudul Tobat, Setelah Pengakuan Dosa, Datanglah Ya Allah, Doa Orang Lapar, dan Doa Seorang Serdadu Sebelum Perang.

Leadership Skill

Event management education continues to increase in popularity and importance. However, in many event management courses, learning outcomes are often expressed in learning process-oriented skills. Beyond event management skills, this research proposes that leadership skills should also be included in event management courses. Experiential learning activities are an ideal opportunity to develop, practice, and enhance leadership skills and the optimal situation is experiential learning activities. Students were surveyed after completing an event management course, which included an experiential learning activity where they developed and produced instructor-led events. Students indicated that they learned many leadership skills, including communication, commitment, strategic planning, and accountability. Communication was the most cited skill that students both learned and demonstrated, and this correlated to the students' perception that communication is also the most important leadership skill required for a career in event management. It is proposed that event management courses utilize leadership skills in the course objectives and that, by doing so, it may provide additional student benefits and academic legitimacy to these courses.

Abstract This study evaluated the use of an experiential learning design for vocational education in mechanical engineering. The research objective is to analyze students’ attitudes and responses after participating in learning activities using a worksheet designed according to Kolb's stages by considering Felder-Silverman's student learning styles. This research was conducted using a case study research employing qualitative data analysis. The data were collected using a purposive random sampling technique with 28 respondents in a 10th grade. The datawere analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis. The experiential learning activities were carried out concrete experience, reflective observations, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. It is shown that students have a positive attitude and response. Experiential activities help students in learning Basic of Mechanical Engineering and they enjoy participating in the learning activities. Experiential learning activities are considered to be fun, interesting, and easy to be understood. The students could relate the course material to real-life situations, which may benefit the students to enhance learning and connect the knowledge they learned to their own experiences. It is suggested that the experiential design is effectively used and could explore the relationship between learning theory and practice in Vocational High School.
