Once this occurs, is the point cognitive development increases by taking this kind of focus. (Ernst, 2013) ("Motivational Theory," 2013) Evidence of this can be seen with Ernst saying, "Experiential learning opportunity was found by the treatment group to be enjoyable, enhance the course offering, have direct real-world extension, and possess course features that will be implemented in the future
This allows the individual to remember, understand and apply key concepts on their own." (Kolb, 2005) These ideas work well with a target population by creating a customized strategy for reaching out to specific segments utilizing a format which is based upon their learning styles

In many cases, internships and on-the-job training will involve utilizing these ideas to enhance the person's capacity to remember and apply important concepts on their own. (Wilson, 2006) ("Motivational Theory," 2013) When this happens, they can more effectively utilize these skills to help them in the future by recollecting these experiences, emotions, feeling and thoughts
However, Dewey's educational philosophy, when put fully into action might seem radical even today. For example, Dewey suggested that math could by the teacher conducting a cooking class, or "figuring out how long it would take to get from one place to another by mule," while "history could be learnt by experiencing how people lived, geography, what the climate was like, and how plants and animals grew" (Neill, "John Dewey: Philosophy of Education," 2005)

For example, "Students visit sites in Whyville such as the Bioplex, where they meet a virtual virologist and play games to match antibodies with viruses. If the students are interested in learning about further education and a career in biotechnology, Whyville shows them opportunities in their geographical area" (Imperatore 28)
For instance, McCarty notes that, "Building online experiential learning communities expands existing programs and their participants beyond the physical boundaries of university while simplifying some aspects of their administration. In addition, the Internet assists in integrating experiential learning with other academic and student programs" (McCarty 75)
The four-step cycle of experiential learning (Doing, Reflecting, Understanding and Applying) developed by Kolb et al. (1971) is a commonly used model to describe the process (McPherson and Nunes 2004)
According to these authors, "In recent years, technology in the classroom has become easier to use and less expensive. A number of companies offer easy-to-use video-editing software for less than $100 and some even for free" (Lim et al
Likewise, Kennedy and Abell note that, "Experiential learning is an approach that actively encourages individuals to learn from experience and to look for activities that will contribute to their professional and personal development" (2008:26). The "learning by doing" aspects of experiential learning mean that "Knowledge development is undertaken by the learner rather than presented by the teacher" (Seed 2008:210)
With practical life, there are many responsibilities that are to be fulfilled in a more practical manner. In real life in order to achieve there are some skills in an individual that can help in fulfilling the responsibilities (Avis 2010)
Thirdly, it is important that the learner must have all the analytical skills that can help in analyzing the experiences that are gained. It is important that the learner must have the decision-making as well as the problem solving skills so that ideas gained from learning of the new experiences can be used (Biga, and University of South Florida 2007, p
An important example of experiential learning is going to the zoo; making observations on the way animals live in the surroundings and how an interaction between the animals and visitors take place (Grasseni 2009). The experiential learning is not based on any interactions between the teachers and students as how the student or an individual learns from direct exposure is the main aim of experience-based direct learning (Brezina 2008)
The modern days are more known as the global village and for this, it is important that knowledge of the software, computer usage and internet usage is updated. It has been highlighted by the authors that the IT skills cannot only help with the education but also in the job (Cadwell, and Turner-Maffei 2004, p
For better reflective learning, it is important that there are some personality based areas that are better developed and well improved. One of the main facts that need to be highlighted here is that some of the main skills that are required in reflective learning include better analyzing skills, communication skills so that with the help of a constant and easy communication (Ellis 2009)
It has been highlighted that the experiential learning is more based on the learning of the individual as compared to experiential education, which is based on the processes that take place between the student and teacher. An important example of experiential learning is going to the zoo; making observations on the way animals live in the surroundings and how an interaction between the animals and visitors take place (Grasseni 2009)
I am still a student but I have seen that there are many areas in the student life as well where there is a need of proper decision-making and problem solving skills. In the real life as I understand when I get a job and work under my employers, the leadership skills will be more important in dealing with the issues that are faced during the job (Harris 2008)
