Learning through experience and teaching strategies outside the classroom at design university studies

Abstract

Working outside the classroom, immersed in a professional and/or everyday setting, generates a tension which results in a kind of learning experience, which, for certain disciplines, is more complete and engaged than the “simulated” knowledge provided within an academic environment. Knowledge acquired through experience is deposited as part of the subject actor and therefore becomes part of an indelible remembrance in a person's memory.
