The acquisition of experiential knowledge is the responsibility of the student. Students must learn to discipline themselves to stop, look back on past experiences, and try to make sense of those experiences. This type of learning is reflective and emphasizes finding patterns and connections. Some understandings are practical. For example, some students, reflecting back on group performance, know how to build consensus when considering equally valid, divergent perspectives that must be reconciled.
Some understandings are more conceptual.
Individual awareness of who you are and how you come across to others is experiential knowledge. It comes with time if you are listening and learn how to give and receive feedback. Bloom s Taxonomy is utilized by students to demonstrate mastery of the concepts used by effective teams. A more complete explanation of the taxonomy is included in Appendix 1. Ten competencies have been identified for effective teams.
