Experiential Learning Is an Effective Training Model to Improve Self-Esteem

Abstract

Purpose: Professional training is critical to organizational success. Experiential learning was defined as a method for actively engaging trainees in learning processes. That must complete all four stages of the experiential learning model. Kolb’s model requires four abilities for successful learning: concrete experience, reflective observations, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. Base on, this research aims to assess experiential learning as a method to improve employees’ self-esteem.
 Methodology: We assessed employees who participated in experiential learning training for 4 months between March and June 2017. This research was used to measure 37 organizational units employee’ self-esteem scale before and after the experiential learning training.
 Main Findings: The research found a significant positive effect on trainees' self-esteem with a 4.98 point improvement in reaction, learning, behavior, and organizational results. The result was used for summative evaluation of the effectiveness of experiential learning by Kirkpatrick four-level framework have a contribution.
 Implications/Applications: The proposed experiential learning offers a chance to upgrade the correspondence between confidence and viable relational abilities, which thusly can support students' trust in their scholarly potential. The ramifications of encouraging expanded confidence emphatically sway scholarly achievement, yet in addition build up an establishment of self-administrative conduct that can serve the students for the duration of their lives, in academic and vocation situated undertakings.

The Kirkpatrick model for training evaluation: bibliometric analysis after 60 years (1959–2020)

“…As Lewis et al (2013, p. 49) assert, "[a]s scholars increasingly take up such data sets, they may be better served by interweaving computational and manual approaches throughout the overall process to maximize the precision of algorithms and the context-sensitive evaluations of human coders." It was noted that the studies related to education were all conducted during the past decade: Smidt et al (2009), Chang and Chou (2015), Yahya et al (2017), Kazan et al (2019), Liao (2019), Lin and Bazaluk (2020) and Suharto et al (2020). Moreover, Suharto et al (2020) study linked the Kirkpatrick model with school education to evaluate the effectiveness of a school-based disaster risk reduction program in a junior high school in Indonesia.…”

The development of self skills in an authentic learning environment: A qualitative study

“…Fifteen participants also stated that learners must be allowed to take risks to help them find themselves thus developing self skills. To be involved in meaningful learning, the self should have the freedom to try new things, reflect on them and then adjust the course of action if necessary to attain the desired goals whilst building self-confidence that supports a positive self-concept (Liao 2019 ). The gained self-confidence allows learners to take more academic risks and promotes a feeling of empowerment and emancipation.…”

Improving Learning Achievement on Family Medicine Topic by Increasing Learning Activity for Medical Students

“…The researcher used this result for a summative evaluation of the effectiveness of experience learning by Kirkpatrick. The consequences of encouraging increased confidence shake up the scientific achievement but in addition to establishing the establishment of self-administration behaviors that can serve students during their lifetime, in academic and vocational efforts [20]. Some studies show the same result in learning achievement [21,22].…”
