Experiential Learning Theory, as the name implies, experiential learning theory is based on personal
experience. David Kolb, a psychologist, proposed the theory after being influenced by the work of other
theorists including John Dewey, Kurt Lewin, and Jean Piaget. Kolb's experiential theory provides a more
holistic approach to learning, emphasizing how experiences, such as cognition, contextual
circumstances, and emotions, affect the learning process.

According to Kolb, this type of learning can be defined as "the process whereby knowledge is created
through the transformation of experience. Knowledge results from the combinations of grasping and
transforming the experience. He also believed that educational experiences required interaction
between the student and their environment in order to be effective (Kendra, 2020).
