	Experiential Education at Kalamazoo College
		Simply put, experiential education is "learning-by-doing." It is hands-on and participatory.
		Experiential learning happens in lots of places and in a wide variety of situations.
		Experiential learning is found at the heart of academic courses (nearly 20% of all classes at K are experiential in some significant part), internships and externships, study abroad programs, senior projects (over 50% of all SIPs are field-based), and in service-learning.

	Experiential Education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Experiential education is an entirely different process than traditional education through the process of information assimilation (hereafter referred to as traditional education); but as will be shown, it is neither better nor worse than traditional education, each have their merits in differing situations.
		Experiential education presents the learner with actions directly applicable to everyday life; skills that are usable in and of themselves, and generalizable skills gained on the periphery of the educational goals through the holistic nature of experiential education.
		Experiential education is a useful tool (method) in facilitating the learning of a broad spectrum of learners over an equally broad spectrum of curriculums or topics, but it should not be viewed as a panacea, or the end-all-be-all answer to education.

	Experiential Education
		It was not until the 1970s that experiential education emerged as a recognized field of education, and in 1977 the Association for Experiential Education (AEE) was established (Hammerman, Hammerman, & Hammerman, 2001).
		The 1994 AEE definition expanded the understanding: "Experiential education is a process through which a learner constructs knowledge, skill, and value from direct experiences" (AEE, 2002, p.
		Taken together these definitions suggest that experiential education is a "process" or "method" that can be used to teach.

	Education - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Education is the primary process by which society attempts to instill mediocrity in children.
		In modern times, education is the slow, expensive process by which human children acquire meaningless information and useless skills to depress creativity and instill in them the mechanical programming that society requires in order for it to function.
		As a method to accommodate for their lack of modern education, these children are forced into degrading, humiliating service positions, where they are crushed with soul-destroying tedium until they lose enough creativity and intelligence that they are able to blend inconspicuously into the fabric of modern society.
