- W108754523 abstract "Abstract Although Experiential Learning Theory originated in the work of Western scholars, many of their theoretical principles have a decidedly Eastern orientation. In this essay we draw out these Eastern principles of experiential learning and suggest an Eastern perspective on learning wholeness in one's life and career based on an ontological approach to adult development that emphasizes existential ways of being in the here and now- centering, balance, harmony and flowing in the watercourse way. Introduction The theme of this special issue of the Career Planning and Adult Development Journal, Recovering Craft: Holistic Work and Empowerment identifies a serious problem- the alienating impact of much work and many workplaces in today's economy and the consequences of these conditions for workers' sense of fulfillment and sense of efficacy in their life, work and career. It also offers a pathway to the solution- the rediscovery of a sense of wholeness in our approach to life, work and career that empowers a strong, authentic, choiceful self with a deep sense of calling and purpose that brings our past, present and future together into a meaningful life plan. In this essay we suggest that this wholeness can be the result of a lifelong commitment to learning from experience. We present an approach to learning based on Experiential Learning Theory (ELT- KoIb, 1984). ELT draws on the work of prominent Western 20th century scholars who gave experience a central role in their theories of human learning and development - notably William James, John Dewey, Kurt Lewin, Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, Carl Jung, Paulo Freire, Carl Rogers and othersdeveloping a dynamic, holistic model of the process of learning from experience and a multi-dimensional model of adult development. From their varied professions and cultural perspectives, these great Western scholars have had a profound impact on our thinking about learning and development, challenging and inspiring us to better ways of learning and growing as human beings. Interestingly, they all accomplished these advances while standing at the boundaries of their fields and the traditional educational establishment, working from theoretical and methodical perspectives that ran counter to the prevailing scientific norms of thentime. Their approaches were in many respects more consistent with the East Asian Confucian and Taoist spiritual traditions that were influenced by the 5000 year old Chinese text Yijing (the Book of Changes) (Trinh, 2011). In this essay we will examine this Eastern perspective on experiential learning and development based on East Asian spiritual traditions and draw out the implications of these ideas for learning wholeness. Experiential Learning Theory and Development Toward Wholeness By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. (Confucius) ELT describes a four stage cycle of learning- experiencing (CE), reflecting (RO), thinking (AC), and acting (AE)- that pervades our waking lives. ELT is a dynamic, holistic theory that defines learning as the major process of human adaptation involving the whole person. ELT shows how deep engagement with the cycle of learning can lead to the development of the integrated, holistic self described above. In ELT adult development occurs through learning from experience. This is based on the idea that the experiential learning cycle is actually a learning spiral. When a concrete experience is enriched by reflection, given meaning by thinking and transformed by action, the new experience created becomes richer, broader and deeper. Further iterations of the cycle continue the exploration and transfer to experiences in other contexts. In this process learning is integrated with other knowledge and generalized to other contexts. The ELT developmental model (D. A. …" @default.
