But the significance makes it important and exciting to students. Support - some level of support is necessary for the risk taking of adventure learning. Students and teachers support each other by giving feedback, explaining new or hard concepts, and acknowledging each other's contributions. The elements of anticipation and of the unknown set the stage in the adventure classroom and stimulate the intellectual pursuit. The teacher provides the guidelines, resources, instruction, parameters, and requirements that promote engaged learning.
Surprise often occurs in the process as students grapple with the material.
Satisfaction - this is the element that encourages students to continue in an activity or pursue a new challenge. Students learn better and retain more when they are immersed in the process, when they feel excitement, when they enjoy the leaning and feel personal satisfaction with the material. An adventure classroom is a fun place to be. It demonstrates and celebrates the learning process and encourages the natural joy of mastering new skills and embracing new concepts. It moves through reflection, a time of questions and review to clarify what students have just done and their level of understanding.
