Experiential Education and Civic Learning.

The author explores the relationship between experiential education and civic learning by investigating a number of factors: the nature of the contemporary challenges to civic learning, the relationship of the purposes that educational institutions choose to that civic challenge, the pedagogical choices available for learning civically, and the relationship of learning theory to the centrality of choice that lies at the core of civic learning. At the end of this investigation, he finds some important guiding principles that civic learning suggests for how we engage in experiential education.
