Experiential learning is widely discussed in education at different levels and in different disciplines. This article is an attempt to understand the concept of experiential as per the descriptions given in the book "Experience and Education" by Dewey (1938), the creator of experiential learning and the most popular model of experiential learning called Methods of Experiential Learning by David Kolb in 1984. Findings from related literature on experiential learning practices are then reviewed for optimal learning outcomes, specifically in K-12 education. Among other things, the influence of experiential learning on academic performance, learning motivation and self-efficacy was examined in detail. In addition, the implications of the peer-reviewed literature in terms of effectiveness, future scope and areas that need to be emphasised more are presented.
