摘要

IN 1999, I WROTE MY FIRST OR/MS TODAY ARTICLE ABOUT experiential learning and how it can be an effective teaching tool. I used the unlikely metaphor of swing dancing. I explained that, much like the dance, the connection between the experiential exercise and the students, as leader and follower, is vital. Equally important is the unstructured freedom to explore and discover. I argued that the coexistence of connectivity and freedom is an essential balance, and thus concluded: "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing."
