Product Description
Review
Full of creative ideas that can be used by trainers and facilitators to develop their range of skills...The book illustrates the sort of issues that managers and HR specialists should consider when deciding whether to use such events to develop and motivate staff. In particular, it will help them to formulate the sort of questions that need to be asked of experiential learning providers before handing over some of their cash from hard-earned training budgets. (People Management )
This book is valuable for all the boundary crossing it does. Other books on the subject do not go far beyond the walls of higher education, but this book draws on a huge range of sources... A stimulating collection of ideas and examples that encourages experimentation. (Dr Roger Greenaway, Reviewing Skills Training )
The range of coverage is impressive. (Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning )
Beard and Wilson manage to smoothly lead the reader on a superlative tour of must see concepts and principles. (Horizons Magazine )
I think you have written a beauty here and I suspect it is going places. (International Association of Experiential Education )

3.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,
By
This review is from: Experiential Learning: A Best Practice Handbook for Educators and Trainers (Paperback)
Although the authors keep claiming throughout the book that this is a handbook, it feels like it does not fit the bill: the theories of learning and teaching are interestingly introduced to start with, but then, later on, it does keep too much on a theoretical level and never gets hands-on enough.Besides, it somewhat deals a lot with outdoors education, which was not something to expect from the title or the introduction. A positive point is that it aims at educators/teachers at all levels of education.

Pioneering Stuff!,

This review is from: Experiential Learning: A Best Practice Handbook for Educators and Trainers (Paperback)
Yes, I thought I'd like to add my thoughts and contratulations to the authors on this one.Top international publisher Kogan Page have impressed me this time with something new and engaging. This isn't a typical academic text book but an honest enquiry / handbook into the refreshing and perennial world of learning through experience ie. DOING. If mere stats n facts is what you're after then go elsewhere. There's no claim to have all the answers, rather this is a thought provoking and thorough foray into whole-learning and it's certainly stimulating. I've had it within reach on my desk for nearly two years as I graduated then set up my own creative education company, constantly referring to what I see as triggers for my own thinking, not information processing. The authors have even come up with a fascinating diagnostic tool for assessing non-dualistic learning; the learning combination lock. There are many clear and entertaining examples of learning experiences and chapters on Facilitation, good practice and ethics, Sensory Intelligence, Experience and Emotions, Naturalistic Intelligence, Mental fitness for the future, Imaginative strategies and so on. It's a meaty 300 page reference and guide book for people who like to think for themselves, take risks in learning and not just play safe in the mainstream. These are from the back cover: "You have written a beauty here and I expect it's going places." - International Association of Experiential Education. "Full of creative ideas that can be used by trainers and facilitators to develop their range of skills." - People Management. Even very accomplished developers can undoubtedly find many ideas to expand the design options upon which they can draw." - Leadership and Organizational Development Journal

Not a good experience,
By Bezza "Bezza" (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Experiential Learning: A Best Practice Handbook for Educators and Trainers (Paperback)
Not good I'm afraid. The writing style is not gripping and was not a great experience. I wanrted to get some useful ideas to use when delivering my own training sessions but didn't.
