Abstract:

It is a circulation for experiential learning as concrete experience-reflective observation-abstract conceptualization-active practice. During the process, the learner constructs the meaning through the dialogue with the environment, with himself and with others. The learner's dialogue is based on four dialectical processes, which are that tension between direct experience and indirect experience in the process gaining experience and during this process, the learner gets direct experience through perception and indirect experience through comprehension; the tension between reflective experience and action experience and the learner internalizes experience through reflection and transfers experience through action; the tension between individual experience and connecting experience; the tension between hierarchical and overall experience. Dialogue plays a leading role during the four dialectical processes.

Key words: experience, experiential learning, internal mechanism
