INTEGRATING SEPARATE AND CONNECTED KNOWING - THE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING-MODEL

I describe the differences between separate and connected knowing (Belenky, Clinchy, Goldberger, & Tarule, 1986) and suggest that the experiential learning model (Kolb, 1981, 1984) is a useful framework for integrating traditional, separate knowing and connected, collaborative leaming. The strengths of this model and a list of activities and examples associated with various learning positions are identified.
