Learning By Doing is a book written by Edgar James Swift in 1914. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of experiential learning, which is the process of learning through doing.

The first part provides an overview of the theory behind experiential learning and its benefits. The second part focuses on the practical applications of experiential learning in various fields, including education, business, and social work. The third part offers guidance on how to design and implement effective experiential learning programs.Throughout the book, Swift emphasizes the importance of reflection in the learning process. He encourages readers to reflect on their experiences, identify what they have learned, and apply that knowledge to future situations. He also emphasizes the role of the teacher or facilitator in guiding the learning process and creating a supportive environment for learners.Overall, Learning By Doing is a pioneering work in the field of experiential learning. It offers valuable insights and practical advice for educators, trainers, and anyone interested in promoting active, engaged learning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
