Bu çalışma yaşantı yoluyla öğrenme ve onun farklı ortamlardaki işleyişini temel almaktadır. Bu amaçla literatürdeki yaşantı yoluyla öğrenme tanımlamaları ele alınarak bu yolla öğrenmenin karakteristik özellikleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Daha sonraki aşamada ise yaşantı yoluyla öğrenme ders programı içeriği açısından ele alınıp eğitim kurumlarında nasıl uygulanabileceği üzerinde tartışılmıştır. Bu yazının son olarak ele alınan unsuru ise yaşantı yoluyla öğrenmenin grup sürecinde kişisel ve duygusal gelişmeyle ilişkisidir.
