Desired change in behaviour is called learning. It refers to mental, emotional and Physical reaction. Changeinbehaviourmeansrespondingtostimulilikethepresenceofinstructor,PPTorothervisual aids,explanation,interaction,Groupdiscussionetc.

The purpose of Learning experience is to create an opportunity for the participants to learn somethingbylistening,observingorinvolvingthemselvespracticallytolearnbytheirowneffort.It is also an opportunity for application of knowledge, skill & attitude obtained in a created situation oractualsituation.

`LearningbyDoing`and`LearningExperiences`arenotthesame.TheconceptofLearningbyDoing iswelearnmorewhenweactuallydotheactivity. LearningExperienceisdoinganactivityinagiven situation under the direction of an instructor or trainer. Learning by doing is a process of getting practical knowledge. The process encourages rote memorization. For example the trainee pitches the tent with the help of his group and it may not be perfect. But in Learning experience, there is a deep learning of the activity and the mistakes will be rectified till that activity is perfectly attained. So in learning experience, with the background knowledge of pitching a tent, the learner will come to know what is the angle of fixing a peg and what are the types of lashings required in that activity andotheralliedinformation.

A learning experience is an opportunity for application of knowledge and skill which has been acquired earlier. While planning a learning experience,the training needs of the participants are to be analysed to improve their job performance. We do the Training Needs Analysis (TNA) whenever

the training that has already been given does not give expected result or updating of the existing trainingormodificationwithcreativeideasinachangingenvironment.Thetrainermaychooseany activitythatisneededfortheadultleaderandplanforitsexecutionandevaluation.Wearefamiliar with Management game on Commissioner`s courses which is a situation created for managing a learning experience. Similarly, a learning experience is created by a trainer in a workshop on MembershipGrowthwithGrowthCoordinatorsandotherresponsiblepersons.

Henceatrainershouldbeproficientincreating/planninggoodandinterestinglearningexperiences (reducing lecture and talk) on almost all topics of a course so that training may be interesting, enjoyable and long lasting by which participants may be got trained to do their job.
