1. What is Life-wide Learning (LWL)?
Life-wide Learning (LWL) refers to student learning in real contexts and authentic settings. Such experiential learning enables students to achieve certain learning goals that are more difficult to attain through classroom learning alone. It helps students to achieve the aims of whole-person development and enables them to develop the life-long learning capabilities that are needed in our ever-changing society.
The diagram on left shows that life-wide learning for the five essential learning experiences can take place outside the school in different contexts, and different organisations may offer related learning opportunities.
