The Elements of Successful Learning

Experiential learning is at the heart of everything we do at International Study Programs, and this ethos has been carefully integrated into our learning model to maximize educational impact for students.

Whether traveling with us to an exotic destination or logging in to an online session from home, students will learn by doing with academic formats and cultural events inspired by experiential learning theory. Our experienced program managers will design a comprehensive and holistic learning program that’ll uphold the four key elements of experiential learning at every step of your journey.

EXPERIENCE

Our knowledge of the world is constructed through individual and collective experiences. That is why we place experiential learning at the very core of our philosophy. Students will have the opportunity to discover new methods, approaches, and perspectives through the variety of academic formats and cultural events that we offer.

REFLECT

We recognize the importance of reflecting upon experiences in the learning process. Be it just couple of minutes between activities or a full debriefing session led by the faculty, we consider and plan for these vital moments of reflection with great attention to detail.

 
 

UNDERSTAND

A crucial component of learning is the conceptualization and integration of new ideas, new information, and new knowledge into our minds. Reflecting on an experience isn’t enough without gaining a thorough understanding. ISP academic events provide ample opportunities to ask questions, fill in the missing pieces, and actively engage in the learning process.

ENGAGE 

One of the fundamental principles of experiential learning is using a hands-on approach to learn by doing. We always make sure that our programs provide interactive opportunities for the learners to test their newly acquired knowledge and actively use it in case studies, consulting projects or other carefully designed events.
