The problem
Intervention: Experiential learning activities such as cooking, gardening, taste-testing, games, role-playing, sensory evaluation, creative arts, and storybooks
Who it was tested with: Children aged 0-12 years in primary schools, preschools, and outside-of-school settings.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Four databases...were searched from database inception to 2020. Eligible studies included children 0-12 years, assessed effect of experiential learning on outcomes of interest compared to non-experiential learning and were open to any setting." The review directly compared experiential learning interventions against non-experiential control conditions across multiple controlled studies, meeting the standard for experimental evidence tier.
High risk of bias in many included studies; limited evidence from preschool and outside-of-school settings reduces generalizability; effect size calculations performed but specific magnitudes not detailed in abstract
