Abstract
Research and theory related to experiential learning hold important implications for designers and teachers in postsecondary educational organizations. Three current approaches to the investigation of active learning are discussed. A research study of two designs of a field-based graduate course is reported. Participants in both versions of the course responded to two questionnaires measuring their perceptions of their learning experiences. Twenty-three participants (55%) from the earlier version and twenty (95%) from the redesigned course responded. The findings, while not always consistent with conceptual expectations, revealed provocative relationships between theories of active learning. Effort to apply concepts of experiential learning to course design resulted in measurable differences in perceived quality of learning. Key questions for further investigation are highlighted.
