Any evaluation of the type of knowledge received through "life experience" compared with that of traditional methods of learning, such as completion of college courses, must take into account what type of life experience is being considered, but almost every type of job experience can provide profound and lasting benefits for an individual. For instance, a 6-month stint as a burger jockey may not appear to be particularly valuable life experience, but any type of job - even a minimum wage job - will help young people learn a number of valuable skills and traits that will help them succeed later in life, both professionally and academically.
Some of these specific benefits that are derived from experiential learning that are not, generally, gained from traditional course work include learning how to get along with co-workers, how to get to work on time, how to take and execute orders, and what it means to pay taxes at the end of the month. In...
These types of things cannot necessarily be learned from a textbook or a lecture, but rather must be experienced first-hand; in many cases, these things also must be experienced first-hand over and over again until people manage to get it right.
Some of the "key" things that I have learned overall from experiential learning include:
People are just people and they will tend to try to get away with what they can if they believe no one is watching too closely;
If you do not like a job, it is time to find another. Loyalty in the workplace is perhaps the most valuable attribute that an employee can bring to the table.

In addition, the use of a collaborative online environment for producing educational videos was shown to be an effective approach to promoting experiential learning. In the final analysis, it is reasonable to conclude that as educators gain more experience with online educational programs, there will be further integration of experiential learning opportunities that will draw on the multimedia-savvy strengths of today's learners.

Some of the main strategies that can be used to measure if I have achieved my objectives are as follows; 1. For better communication skills, conversation will be asked with peers, teachers and friends in order to analyze if the required goal has been achieved, if the main concept of the talk has been talked and the aim of the conversation has been achieved. 2. For the testing of the decision making

Progressive education can fail to build upon past frameworks of student knowledge, according to Dewey, because of its scattered syllabus, based on student whims of the moment, while a student was still gaining self-knowledge and self-mastery. Progressive education has some other inherent structural problems, such as the difficulty of evaluating and assessing the learner. If the student sets the terms of the learning process, how can the teacher evaluate whether
Learning and Psychology Learning is acquiring a new concept, information or knowledge that adds to the individual's mental map of realities and perceptions. This new concept, information, or knowledge is almost always translated into action or manifested through new or developed behavior. Learning and psychology are linked together because both fields study the individual mind, and how the mind incites behavior or action within the individual. In the study of learning,
