{"product_id":"theory-and-practice-of-experiential-education","title":"Theory and Practice of Experiential Education","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the early days of the Association for Experiential Education  it was often noted that experiential education was experience rich but theory poor. In 1985  the Association for Experiential Education (AEE) published the first edition of this book to help rectify the dilemma. We are pleased to introduce the 4th edition of the original text  which has been re-titled Theory \u0026amp; Practice of Experiential Education. The relationship between theory and practice in experiential education rests on a profound creative tension. As we become more theory based in the application of experiential education  it is essential to maintain the delicate balance between theory and practice. Theory informs practice  while practice tests and refines theory. This book is an attempt to offer the richness of theory that clarifies practice. Since that first edition was published back in 1985  there have been some key developments in the theory of experiential education  and the editors of this volume have strived to make this edition reflective of that evolution. The classic chapters retained from previous editions give the reader a sense of both the timelessness and progression of ideas about experiential education. Some of the new chapters cover topics such as multiple intelligence theory  constructivism  brain-based learning theory  educational reform  and facilitation analysis. Yet others critique how experiential education is articulated and practiced  offering new theories and methods. The result is an excellent teaching resource for undergraduate and graduate courses about education theory and courses specifically in experiential education. It is the editors hope that educators will make this book their own by using the articles that work for their teaching style and students in an order that fits their course progression. A NOTE TO ECO-CONSCIOUS This book is printed on 100% recycled paper  using all green processes and by an FSA-certified printer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964935958581,"sku":"ByrdShop_0929361172","price":90.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780929361178.jpg?v=1770485143","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/theory-and-practice-of-experiential-education","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
