  3. What is experiential learning?

  4. Defining Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) • Draws on the work of John Dewey, Kurt Lewin, Jean Piaget, William James, Carl Jung, Paulo Freire, Carl Rogers and others – • Promotes a holistic model of the experiential learning process and a multilinear model of adult development • The theory is built on six propositions that are shared by these scholars (Kolb, 1984):

  5. Six Propositions of ELT • Learning is best conceived as a process, not in terms of outcomes. • All learning is relearning. • Learning requires the resolution of conflicts between dialectically opposed modes of adaptation to the world. • Learning is a holistic process of adaptation to the world. • Learning results from synergetic transactions between the person and the environment. 6. Learning is the process of creating knowledge.

  6. The ELT process • ELT defines learning as a “the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. • Knowledge results from the combination of grasping and transforming experience” (Kolb, 1984:41). • This process is portrayed as an idealized learning cycle or spiral where the learner “touches all bases”-experiencing, reflecting, thinking, and acting-in a recursive process that is responsive to the learning situation and what is being learned.

  8. When Theory Met the Real World

  9. Target Population • Sample size: 55 students (two groups) • Fifth semester, third year Fashion Marketing DEC students • Course: Private Label Management (75 hours)

  10. Process: Step One

  11. Process: Step One • The students and I examine the dates when fashion shows are presented in Paris and New York and determine how to adapt the new runway collections for a Le Chateau customer. • Since the collections are always prepared a year in advance, historical data must also be reviewed to identify which garments were more receptive to the Le Chateau customer, based on sales and check out rates, and re-introduce these items for the new seasonal collection. As this information is being examined, new products must be developed and appraised by the team.

  12. Process: Step Two

  13. Process: Step Three

  14. Joint Collaboration Throughout all stages of the project, members from Le Chateau participate in the evaluation process: • Stage One: designer reviews each category and critiques trend analysis and price points; suggests changes based on current market demands. • Stage Two: production planning is reviewed and comments are made as to the feasibility of production facility choices. • Stage Three: assessments are based on the cohesion of the newly developed products with the current store merchandise As a leader in the Canadian retail marketplace, Le Chateau brings its expertise and fashion know-how to the students, which is priceless.

  15. Description of Experiential Learning Model An Experiential Learning Model should be composed of four factors - partner organization, school administration, student and teacher. • Each factor has responsibilities it should uphold in order to contribute to the overall success of the project. to the overall success of the project. • Any educator seeking to implement an experiential learning exercise in their classroom consider how to adapt their learning environment or develop partnerships outside their college in order to provide a fruitful environment for this type of activity.
