Abstract
As we noted in the previous chapter, the accent in the experiential learning approach is towards the educational encounter being student-centred rather than teacher-centred and appropriately adult-centred. In this approach, the aim is not to initiate the group participants into particular ways of knowing as Peters (1966) would argue, but to encourage those people to think about their own experience and to transform their personal knowledge and skills through the processes of reflection, discussion and action.
