Description
Abstract This article presents experiential learning as a process of metaphor change. It explores the development of generative metaphors as it occurs in outdoor programs as well as elsewhere, and discusses some implications for the facilitation of experiential learning in adventure education. I will suggest that the related literature has overemphasized facilitators' metaphoric introductions to adventure activities at the expense of interventions at the moment learners' metaphors manifest themselves during the experience. After an introduction to cycles of metaphor development, this paper focuses on facilitating the initial stages of such cycles. It examines connections with several theoretical frameworks underpinning this approach and with the prevailing perspective on metaphors in adventure programming.
