Excerpt from Managing the Learning Process: An Experiment in Education About three years ago, we began a serious curriculum development effort. In very broad terms, our objective was the application of the experience-based discovery teaching methods which had proven so successful in the new mathe matics and new science curricula. The essence of the experiential approach, as it might be applied to organizational psychology, can be seen from the fol lowing example. One's goal, as a teacher, is to have his students understand the concept of perception and related issues of stereotyping, halo effect, selectivity, etc. Utilizing the experiential approach, one would create a situation which would personally involve the student in an active way in the process of perception. One could then help him to see where he personally stereotyped someone (or was himself stereotyped). The abstract concept of stereotyping and its relation to a theory of perception will, presumably, be more meaningful to him because he can relate it to a personal situation he just experienced. A lecturer attempts to create a Similar kind of involvement by using examples to make abstract conceptual material more real.
