Description
Introduction Experiential education treats the individual experiences of pupils as educative material and exploits them in order to produce learning rather than using texts and knowledge imposed from above by teachers as traditional education does (Dewey, 1938, 1998). This educational approach seems to be the common denominator between the overlapping and closely related fields of environmental education (Palmer, 1998), outdoor and adventure education, as has been recently established (Dumouchel, 2003). The power of EE and experiential education acting together is recognized by workers in the field (Adkins&Simmons, 2003). Moreover, pre-service teachers who were trained to synergistically use both in order to develop "effective facilitation skills and challenge traditional practice that limited their professional development" reported positive results (Law, 2003: p. 2).
