Dewey. The idea of experiential learning originally came from the "experiential learning" of john dewey, a famous American educator. Dewey expounded his educational philosophy in the book Experience and Education published by 1938: If people try to systematically expound the educational philosophy contained in the new educational practice, I think we will find some universal principles ... Learning comes from textbooks and teachers, and learning also comes from experience.

In his view, in order to ensure the inheritance and transformation of human experience, school education must provide certain materials for students to learn knowledge, and to truly acquire real knowledge, it must be obtained through practical activities such as application, attempt and transformation. This is the famous "learning by doing". According to Dewey's thought, only through concrete "doing" can we achieve the goal of transforming individual behavior.

Introduction to experiential education

Experiential education is a brand-new form of training and education in the field of education at present. As the name implies, the "body" of "experience" is to put yourself in the other's shoes and experience it personally; "Examination" is to examine feelings, verify and check. Experience is practical, operational and unrepeatable, and it is a process full of individuality and creativity. It originated from Kurt Hann's Outward Bound School. Through field training, participants can improve their survival and interpersonal skills, and improve their personality and psychological quality.

Experiential education is based on the dual growth law of educational goals and minors' psychology and physiology, which allows minors to experience and feel in real life, form personal moral consciousness and ideological quality through reflective experience and experience internalization, and accumulate their own ideological and moral behavior through repeated experience.
