This report will the evaluating my experience during my experiential learning practice. Experiential learning practice (EPP) in its simplest form is developing skills through practice, followed by reflection on skills gained and their use. EPP was popularised as an alternative to written and aural taught learning, it offered a different and new way of learning through practical skills (Lewis & Williams, 1994, p. 6). For my EPP I was working within the representation team for a London Students union, A charitable membership organisation that represents and serves the students of a university. Within this evaluation report I will be outlining several Psychological theories.

In “My Pedagogic Creed” by John Dewey explains why he thinks children’s education should be based upon the child’s personal interest and strength; doing so may help children become better members of the social community and society. Main points Dewey explained was: what education is, what the school is, the subject matter of education, the nature of method, and lastly, the school and social progress.
It is vital to the student affairs profession that we understand how to assess and implement the four environmental perspectives in college environments. These perspectives, which are physical, human aggregate, constructed, and organizational, can give us the necessary tools and ideas to support first generation students in a public, research based four-year institution. In order for first generation students to succeed at a public four-year institution they need outreach, resources, meaningful structures, and influential college climate. I believe it is important to take all four perspectives into consideration when critically thinking of intentional programming to reduce the impact of partying. Through the history of higher education and assessment of these perspectives we can gain new insights and make new efforts to reduce the impact of partying on first generation students.
John Dewey (1859-1952), was a philosopher and educator who changed the normal schooling conventions throughout his career, lifetime and beyond. Dewey strongly influenced the design of innovative educational approaches to create a democratic learning environment. Examples of these democratic strategies are demonstrated through current day discovery and experiential learning methods undertaken by teachers globally. The idea behind these approaches is to allow transmission to occur through communication. For John Dewey, education and democracy are intimately connected. Dewey’s philosophy of democratic education was, potentially, influenced by his Early life and Education, Relationships and Books e.g. Darwin.
Democracy and Education was published by John Dewey in 1916. The original title of the book was to be Introduction to the Philosophy of Education but was changed due to the political pressure of the World War. The original title was however retained as the subtitle of the book. The book was written to shed light on the fundamental educational, socio political consequences of the world war, civil war, industrialization, migration etc.
Identify one idea that you associate with Dewey’s philosophy of education, which you feel can be illustrated by drawing on your own experience of teaching and learning, e.g., the idea of the school as a community, the idea that young children have the trait of plasticity, etc. Explain Dewey’s idea as clearly as you can, using quotes and references to commentators as appropriate. Then give a concrete example of that idea in practice (it should be something that you have observed in a school or college setting);
According to some researcher’s experiential learning theory (ELT) has been widely used in management learning research and practice for over thirty-five years. Building on the foundational works of Kurt Lewin, John Dewey and others, experiential learning theory offers a dynamic theory based on a learning series driven by the resolution of the dual tensions of action/reflection and experience/abstraction. These two dimensions state a holistic learning space wherein learning transactions take place between individuals and the environment.
Most of the people consider that being a student is the most enjoyable and stress free part of our life. This is the stage where we are exploring different things in our environment. Being influenced by someone in good or in bad things. This is the stage wherein we have a lot of ambition or goals, that push our limits in order to achieve it in the future.
Over the years, several philosophers in Education have emerged to address issues plaguing the education system in society. One such philosopher is John Dewey; he is known as one of the greatest American Modern Thinker's in education. The above mentioned quote by John Dewey suggests that education is life itself. The writer supports this quote because as we go through different life experiences new knowledge y is being obtained each day which serves to further educate us. Furthermore, in defining education Dewey said that it is the “development of all those capacities in the individual which will enable him to control his environment and fulfill his possibilities". This process is said to take place
Declared in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UN, 1948), education is recognized as a fundamental human right and a key component contributing to the development of societies. Yet there are many people on earth have not been able to get educated. In order to solve the problem, it is proposed that all education (including primary, secondary and higher education) should be free all over world and governments should be those funding the tuition fees. This paper critically hightlights the significances and also rebut the objection of free education.
Instructive idea is a subject that has altered throughout the decades, and still nowadays not every person is in complete special consideration to the subject. In any case, one thing is sure rationality is the establishment of educational styles. There are four basic philosophies: Realism, Idealism, Pragmatism and Existenlism. Each of the four philosophies are altogether different, however all make progress toward a similar objective, to better our education framework. Although each teacher has an alternate style of showing that can be viewed as their own, they follow one of the four fundamental theories. Be that as it may, take an instructor numerous years to ace, and perceive their way as one of the way for teaching.
