Transformative Learning Through Engagement

Student Affairs Practice as Experiential Pedagogy

Beschreibung

Presents what we now know about the learning process. Central to its argument is that learning must be experiential and engage students holistically; that it must be grounded in brain science and an understanding of the cultural drivers of knowledge construction; that academic faculty and student affairs professionals must co-operate to help students make connections; and that the entire learning environment needs to be integrated to reflect the organic nature of the process.
