Promotion of Experiential Learning in the Admissions Process “You’ll work hands-on with professors to learn, discover, and innovate.” –WSUV webpage “Directed studies and internships encourage students to gain real world experience and engage in projects aimed at serving the community...” –WSUV DTC program main page “Why U of I?” webpage videos: Choose Your Own Adventure

What is experiential learning? “The process of making meaning from direct experience.” – Christian M. Itin author Reasserting the Philosophy of Experiential Education as a Vehicle for Change in the 21st Century I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. - Confucius

Why is Experiential Learning Important? Choose Your Own Adventure Overall educational experience Retention Career preparedness and professional experience Personal enrichment Getting the value out of your tuition dollars

The Advisor’s Role in Encouraging Experiential Learning “Perhaps the idea of making connections between in-class and out-of-class activities sounds obvious. Yet without some concrete illustrations of how to do it, and why it can be helpful, the suggestion risks becoming an abstraction.” (Light, 2001) Choose Your Own Adventure

Tools for “The Talk”: Going beyond suggestions Choose Your Own Adventure

Strengths-based Advising Uses student’s talents as the basis for educational and career planning Shifts the focus from problems to possibilities Strengths are pathways to goals (Schreiner & Anderson, 2005)

Motivational Interviewing OARS: Ask… Open-ended questions Affirm Listen…Reflectively Summarize (Stolz, 2012) Choose Your Own Adventure A person-centered, directive method of communication for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. (Miller & Rollnick, 2002)

Motivational Interviewing Examples – “What would you do if there were no limits or constraints?” – “What do you think would make your educational experience better?” – “What types of activities do you think would help you achieve your academic and career goals?” Choose Your Own Adventure

Experiential Activity Role-playing: One person is the advisor and one person is the student. The student is feeling ambivalent about how their semester is going and generally uninspired by college. The advisor should use motivational interviewing and strengths-based advising techniques to get the student to identify/discuss a strength and/or a long-term goal. Choose Your Own Adventure I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. - Confucius
