Abstract
Experiential learning is a practical, activity-based method of teaching that focuses on learning by doing, reflecting, and experimenting. Instead of relying only on lectures or textbook theory, it helps students build knowledge and skills through direct, real-world involvement. This study explores how secondary school teachers and students apply experiential learning in their classrooms. Known for its hands-on tasks and real-life relevance, experiential learning is increasingly recognized for boosting student engagement and creating deeper understanding. This study consists of 15 secondary schools teachers and students and examine how experiential learning affects engagement and participation among secondary school students. The results indicated that experiential learning increases students’ motivation and enjoyment of school, while also improving their learning skills and work ethic, leading to greater overall engagement and involvement. Participating students noted that an experiential learning model promotes teamwork and problem-solving abilities. Using a qualitative approach that includes interviews, and classroom observations, the research examines how teachers incorporate these methods, and how they believe it affects student learning. By analyzing the techniques, teacher perspectives, and results linked to experiential learning, the study aims to offer useful guidance for educators, policymakers, and curriculum designers working to improve teaching practices in secondary schools.
