Forming Knowledge: Constructivist Learning and Experiential Education

Abstract

The teens talked about why they did not make the top of the peak. It looked like it was going to storm, said one. That's the reason, others agreed. No way, said Ryan. “We knew weather might blow in and still we got up late.” After further discussion the rest of the group agreed and suggested other contributing factors. The discussion then turned to taking responsibility and not blaming outside things. Janene said that was like when she blames her mother for when she gets grounded.
