Learning By Doing Science
Experiential learning is the process of learning through experience, and is
more specifically defined as "learning through reflection on doing"
Hands-on learning is a form of experiential learning but does not
necessarily involve students reflecting on their product. Experiential
learning is distinct from rote or didactic learning, in which the learner
plays a comparatively passive role.
It is related to but not synonymous with other forms of active learning
such as action learning, adventure learning, free-choice learning,
cooperative learning, service-learning, and situated learning.
