Challenges for Experiential Learning: Personal, Interactive and Collaborative Experiences

Abstract

We are living in a time in which we look for an effective and effective shift from the teaching paradigm to the learning paradigm. This shift emphasizes even more the need to conceive education planning according to the needs felt or, in other words, to plan education according to problems that have to be overcome, in the light of the new realities that are required. We have in mind the diversified offer of ICT in learning, the difficulties to overcome, identifying problems, analyzing the contexts in which we are integrated before looking for the solution, before looking for new ways to go ahead. We are challenged by the paradigm of learning, based on social constructivism, but also by the pragmatic dimension of learning. We must be attentive to the challenges that lead us to learn what can bring us benefits, which can be useful in everyday life –the perspective of the applicability of knowledge. By extension we refer the importance of the real context for an experiential, interactive, and collaborative learning preparing thestudent for labour.
