neutral  interpr8er: lots of information about Hahn, but very little about expeditionary learning/outward bound, and exp. learning/outward bound is by no means only about adventure// http://harborside.kusd.edu/el.html
55 mins
  -> Hence brackets! Hahn created "Outward Bound" and main pioneer of *Erlebnispädagogik*.//Little mention of "outward bound": already English, needs no translation. NO mention of "expeditionary learning" for simple reason: I think it is the wrong translation!

"Ten Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound Design Principles
These 10 principles, which seek to describe a caring, adventurous school culture and approach to learning, were drawn from the ideas of Kurt Hahn and other education leaders for use in Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound (ELOB) schools.

The primacy of self-discovery
The having of wonderful ideas
The responsibility for learning
Empathy and caring
Success and failure
Collaboration and competition
Diversity and inclusion
The natural world
Solitude and reflection
Service and compassion "

Description:
Expeditionary Learning is a model for comprehensive school reform for elementary, middle, and high schools. The five core practices--learning expeditions, active pedagogy, school culture and character, leadership and school improvement, and structures--work in concert and support one another to promote high achievement through active learning, character growth, and teamwork. As one of 136 Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound schools nationwide we are involved in a new and exciting field in education.

neutral  yyyzzz: http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=expeditionary // So which country is the N.Y. Expeditionary Learning School planning to invade? // Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Kurt Hahn's native language may have been German.

  -> http://http://wilderdom.com/experiential/tenELOBprinciples.h... think you have the wrong idea about Erlebnispäd./Outward B./Expeditionary Learn.. (Hahn founded Outw. Bound/Exp. Learn..)/many, many EL schools:http://www.elschools.org/aboutus/networkmap.
neutral  Textklick: Collins: "Relating to or constituting an expedition, especially a military one: an expeditionary force." All DE/EN dictionaries of any consequence suggest similar. Give that word a rethink?// 'Response to peer comment' changed 5x? Please, C.H. Not usual.

  -> I didn't coin the term "exp. learn..", Hahn (founder of Outward Bound) did. //just google expeditionary learning, lots and lots of entries/schools, wonder why that is//http://www.uni-lueneburg.de/einricht/erlpaed/outward_konzept...
neutral  Armorel Young: The word I would want to rethink is "pedagogy" - I have yet to meet a native English speaker who actually uses this word

Experiential learning


Explanation:
"Experiential Learning is the process of making meaning from direct experience."

Experiential education: "The term is mistakenly used interchangeably with experiential learning" (lower URL)

Maybe the 'expeditionary' was a 'Bushism' somewhere along the word chain?
