TY - JOUR AU - Tully, Greg PY - 2017/07/03 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Experiential practice learning: Providing a theoretical knowledge foundation JF - Groupwork JA - GPWK VL - 26 IS - 3 SE - DO - 10.1921/gpwk.v26i3.1041 UR - https://journals.whitingbirch.net/index.php/GPWK/article/view/1041 SP - 55-63 AB - Abstract: Using experiential activities is one way to provide alternative content that moves groupwork practice away from the structured curriculum-driven or facilitator-driven approach, and moves groupwork practice more toward the direction of group activity that promotes cooperative group member learning and growth. However, we should recognize the importance of providing a theoretical knowledge foundation prior to learning about experiential practice; it is vital to learn the foundational knowledge pertinent to the successful use of experiential activities in groups.<br /><br />Keywords: activities; group planning; group stages; group types; theoretical knowledge; support; group work; groupwork ER -
