ABSTRACT
The experiential nature of adventure learning means people learn how they behave or react and their associated emotional responses. The ambition of adventure is to create unconditional positive regard, to teach participants to strive to their potential, they have value and their inherent worth does not depend upon social perceptions. The strength of Carl Rogers's approach lies in part in his focus on relationships, which is the foundation of adventure. Through the multi-modal methodology of combining the verbalisation of the classroom with the physical and visual platforms offered by adventure learning, participants can be supported to maximise understanding and achieve their potential. Theorists associated with learning styles include Peter Honey and Alan Mumford, Howard Gardner and David Kolb. Adventure learning occurs as a group activity; therefore, as the activity progresses, it exists within a social context and will be reviewed as a collective experience.
