Bridging the Gap: A Framework for Experiential Learning in Higher Education

Abstract

This article presents a conceptual framework for integrating experiential learning into higher education, focusing on guest speaker engagements, company field trips, and project-based learning. Grounded in Kolb’s experiential learning theory and Bandura’s social learning theory, the framework aims to bridge the gap between academic theory and professional practice by fostering critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills. The article also explores the potential of technologies like virtual reality and AI in enhancing experiential learning, while emphasizing future research on long-term impacts, cultural adaptation, and faculty development.
