The Perceptions of Students’ Experiential Learning in Relation to Theoretical Concept with Real Practice

Abstract

By joining theoretical concept with real practice and experience, the students are able to develop their skills, knowledge and values. Thus, they are able to have the skill on problem solving, critical thinking and new experience to the new situations outside. The aim of this paper is to gauge the students' perception on the first-time experience having experiential learning in Basic Hydraulics subject. A total of 120 students were involved in this study and they were divided into two groups; conventional and experiential learning. As for experiential learning, students were requested to find solution according to the real case problem. They need to undergo the process of experiential learning in order to find the solution. Then, self-administrated questionnaires were disseminated among the students who went through the process of experiential learning to gauge their perceptions on the outcome. The results indicate that they have satisfactory results for having experience in experiential learning. They achieved meaningful learning experience through this method which required them to have full involvement along the process of problem solving.

Skills, knowledge, and experience are acquired outside of the traditional academic classroom setting and may include internships, studies abroad, field trips, field research, and service-learning projects (Noor et al, 2020). Teachers purposefully involve students in direct experience and focused reflection through the use of experiential learning in order to increase knowledge, develop skills, and clarify values (Association for Experiential Education, 2022).…”
