1.1 - The Role of Experience in Educating Today's College Students

The ExperiencED podcast explores the process of learning from direct experience in all of its forms.  We believe that experiential education is a strong complement to learning from a traditional academic curriculum. Experiential learning is particularly effective at informing students about their potential career paths and bridging the common gap between classroom-based skills and skills that are most practical for the workplace. Perhaps more importantly this approach is effective in broadening a student’s world view and increasing their capacity for humanity. Episodes offer a variety of interviews and conversations with individuals who bring unique perspectives on the importance of experiential education.  Hosted by a multidisciplinary team: Jim Stellar (behavioral neuroscience), Mary Churchill (sociology), and Adrienne Dooley (education practitioner)
We see experiential education as taking advantage of the fact that the brain functions on two levels: the first being conscious knowledge and the second being unconscious knowledge based on instinct and feeling.  This division in decision-making is both newly recognized in the field of neuroeconomics and long recognized in the writings of philosophers, e.g. Blaise Pascale – “The heart has reasons of which reason does not know.”
