Florida Teacher Certification Examinations (FTCE) Subject Area Practice Test

Mr. Voran's activity encourages which type of learning?

1. Passive learning

2. Experiential learning

3. Analytical learning

4. Memorization

The correct answer is: Analytical learning

The activity led by Mr. Voran is best associated with experiential learning, which emphasizes hands-on experience and active engagement in the learning process. This approach allows students to connect theoretical concepts with real-world applications, thereby reinforcing their understanding and retention of the material. Experiential learning involves learning through experience, where students actively reflect on their experiences to derive meaning, making it deeply impactful. In contrast, the other types of learning mentioned—passive learning, analytical learning, and memorization—do not focus on active engagement and experience to the same degree as experiential learning. While analytical learning may involve critical thinking and problem-solving, it does not inherently include the hands-on elements that characterize experiential learning.
