Experiential Learning Theory
Experiential Learning Theory: Previous Research and New Directions - 1
Many centers
New patterns of suburban development in America after 1945 offered space for modes of life different from the social habits of those moving from crowded cities. Over time those habits changed, and then they kept on changing as new kinds of networks developed, so that now much of the built pattern of suburbia lags behind social activities and roles. What happens when so many connections in suburban life become electronic rather than spatial? This …
Experiential Learning Theory
Experiential learning theory (ELT) has been widely used in management learning research and practice for over 35 years. Building on the foundational works of Kurt Lewin, John Dewey and others, experiential learning theory offers a dynamic theory based on a learning cycle driven by the resolution of the dual dialectics of action/reflection and experience/abstraction. These two dimensions define a holistic learning space wherein learning transactio…
Are there cultural differences in learning style
Learning Styles and Learning Spaces
Drawing on the foundational theories of John Dewey and Kurt Lewin, we examine recent developments in theory and research on experiential learning and explore how this work can enhance experiential learning in higher education. We introduce the concept of learning space as a framework for understanding the interface between student learning styles and the institutional learning environment. We illustrate the use of the learning space framework in …

Lack of information is hardly our problem.Information comes at us in waves, sloshing out of the magazine rack, lapping at our computer monitors.It repeats and repeats on all-day news shows.It comes neatly packaged as sound bites, or little nuggets ready for trivia games.We have plenty of information, but it's not often the information we need.Even if it is, we need to learn how to deal with it.It's not just the amount, but the speed.Too much happ…

Heidegger and Habermas on Criticism and Totality
Many of the criticisms Jflrgen Habermas makes of Heidegger depend on questionable interpretations of the latter's texts. However, it would be wrong to read Habermas's criticism as simply misinterpretation, as if once the scholars straightened him out, Habermas would come to agree with Heidegger. Much of what Habermas says stems from philosophical differences that are independent of and partly responsible for the wayward readings of Heidegger's te…
Heidegger at 100, in America
The year 1989 marked the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Martin Heidegger. What has happened to his thought in America? This essay offers a perspective on what I take to be the main trends and some representative works in Heidegger studies on the American side of the Atlantic (with perforce some simplifications both within and among the trends I mention). Heidegger does keep attracting more attention worldwide, at least as measured by t…

Not only is one a materialist while the other is not, but further, they employ different ontological strategies to answer the question "why?" Democritus traces the visible features of things, their colors and shapes and habits of movement, back to determinate fundamental entities, …
