Neolearning as a Methodology That Advances from Experiential and Expansive Learning Theories to Practice

In a world undergoing digital transformation, the education sector needs to increasingly develop new competencies in individuals so that they can act proactively in the face of change. In this sense, Neolearning was developed as a teaching and learning methodology for the development of competencies required by digital transformation. To this end, it uses the theory of experiential learning, and expansive learning. In Experiential learning, there is an emphasis on classroom experience, whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. In Expansive learning, the learning object is expanded to include the network’s stakeholders during the learning process. This chapter aims to present Neolearning as a methodology that advances from experiential and expansive learning theories to practice. In pursuit of this aim, a qualitative with exploratory and descriptive approach was selected, using the theoretical foundation of Neolearning to analyze multiple case studies. The results present students’ satisfaction with the application of the methodology in class, leading to increased motivation and practical applicability of the content. Additionally, it highlights the training of teachers to innovate in the classroom.
