UNIQUE: Unlike most works in the field, assumes a critical stance toward the practice rather than accepting without question the claims and stories of true believers of particular methodsCOMPREHENSIVE: Moore acknowledges and analyzes far more challenges than most advocates do, and regard some practices as less than beneficial and challenges much of the received wisdomFULLY-DEVELOPED THEORY: Draws on pragmatism to activity theory to situated cognition theory more than most texts on experiential educationEMPIRICALLY GROUNDED: Utilizes data from several large-scale empirical research projects which included ethnographic studies of student-interns in their field sites and observations of classrooms where experience-based learning was somehow processed. The work therefore relies on more detailed information about actual experiences than is found in other texts FILLS A GAP: Offers a way between the largely abstract, generalized advocacy pieces claiming great benefits from the practice, and the concrete-level how-to works that instruct educators on how to set up internships, structure journals, and teach classes

Beschreibung

Moore asks the question of whether and under what conditions experience constitutes a legitimate source of knowledge and learning in higher education. Drawing on theory and research, the book addresses three types of challenges and opportunities facing experiential educators: the epistemological, the pedagogical, and the institutional.
