• Kolb's experiential learning model: critique from a modelling perspective (2010, background): “Kolb’s experiential learning theory (KELT) offers an alternative to traditional didactic and behavioural classroom approaches, providing for personal change and development as part of a learning cycle (Healey and Jenkins 2000; Holman, Pavlica and Thorpe 1997).”
• Promoting and Assessing ‘Deep Learning’ in Geography Fieldwork: An Evaluation of Reflective Field Diaries (2008, background): “Though not adopted explicitly amongst geographers until quite recently (Healey & Jenkins, 2000 ), Kolb's theory is implicit in much geography teaching (Harrison et al.”
• Student Perceptions of Geography and Environmental Science Fieldwork in the Light of Restricted Access to the Field, Caused by Foot and Mouth Disease in the UK in 2001 (2003, background): “…this did not emerge as an issue in either Q1a or 1b. Students perceived the central issue of fieldwork to be ‘experiencing their subject for real’, which then provides better (more complete) understanding of the subject, developing subject-specific and specialist knowledge (Healey & Jenkins, 2000).”
• Assessing Experiential Learning Styles: A Methodological Reconstruction and Validation of the Kolb Learning Style Inventory (2013, background): “An appeal of Kolb's Experiential Learning Model is its focus on the experiential learning process rather than on fixed learning traits (Turesky & Gallagher, 2011), providing for an acknowledgement and incorporation of personal change and development in the model (Healey & Jenkins, 2000).”
• Higher Education Students' Attitudes Towards Experiential Learning in International Business (2011, unknown): “…can support the learning process (e.g., Healey, 1998; Shepherd, 1998), and developing the overall geography curriculum (e.g., Jenkins, 1998)’ cited in (Healey & Jenkins, 2000).5 The literature suggests that experiential learning is a necessary element of formal higher education in colleges and…”
