Abstract
Increasing interest is now being focused on how adults learn from experience, but there is no adequate framework to assist learners and those who facilitate learning‐promote learning in the midst of experience. This paper provides a way of conceptualising experience‐based learningwhich considers the personal foundation of experience of learners, their intent and their interaction with a learning milieu. Two elements of the learning experience ‐‐ noticing and intervening–are discussed in detail. The implications for thefacilitation of learning are explored.Keywords
