DIE BEVORDERING VAN ERVARINGSLEER BUITE DIE KLASKAMER
Die Eenheid vir Ervaringsleer (EEL) bevorder nie-kredietdraende ervaringsleer aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch deur samehangende raamwerke vir leerontwerp, erkenning en gehalteversekering te bied. Gegrond op ervaring, gestruktureerde refleksie en betrokkenheid buite die klaskamer, werk EEL saam met fakulteite, afdelings en vennote om te verseker dat ervaringsleerinisiatiewe relasioneel, reflektief en responsief is oor diverse kontekste.
Leer wat teorie met geleefde ervaring verbind om werklike uitdagings aan te spreek
Bevordering van ervaringsleer deur mensgesentreerde innovasie, vennootskappe en navorsingsgeïnformeerde praktyk, wat kennis met toepassing verbind op maniere wat relasioneel, reflektief en responsief oor kontekste heen is.
Die Eenheid vir Ervaringsleer (EEL) is 'n gespesialiseerde eenheid aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch wat toegewy is aan die bevordering van ervaringsleer as 'n integrale deel van die transformerende studente-ervaring. Deur leer doelbewus buite die klaskamer uit te brei, ondersteun EEL leer wat teorie met geleefde kontekste verbind, wat studente in staat stel om reflektief en responsief met kompleksiteit om te gaan.
Die EEL ontwerp pedagogiese raamwerke, bied professionele ontwikkeling vir ervaringsopvoeders, erken formeel ervaringsleer op akademiese transkripsies en kweek strategiese vennootskappe plaaslik en wêreldwyd. Die EEL doen ook deurlopende navorsing, monitering en evaluering om voortdurende verbetering te verseker, sodat ervaringsleer opvoedkundig streng, institusioneel geloofwaardig en responsief bly op ontwikkelende studente-, maatskaplike en opvoedkundige kontekste.
Ons Visie, Missie, Waardes, Filosofie en Kernpilare
Ervaringsleer word gevorm deur institusionele keuses oor leer, verantwoordelikheid en erkenning buite die klaskamer.
By die Eenheid vir Ervaringsleer word ons werk gelei deur 'n samehangende raamwerk wat visie, missie, waardes en filosofie verenig. Saam verseker hierdie elemente dat ervaringsleer relasioneel, reflektief, akademies streng, eties gegrond, responsief en toekomsgerig bly regdeur die Universiteit Stellenbosch en sy breër vennootskappe.

OUR CORE PILLARS
Experiential learning at Stellenbosch University is designed, enabled, and advanced through three core pillars, guided by nine principles. The Unit for Experiential Learning advances its mission through these three core pillars that structure the design, implementation, and evaluation of experiential learning across Stellenbosch University.
HOW TO READ THIS FRAMEWORK
The Unit for Experiential Learning (UEL) structures its work around three core pillars illustrated in the infographic that represent how experiential learning is enabled, supported, and advanced across Stellenbosch University.
Interwoven throughout these pillars are nine strategic values that articulate our practical approach. These values guide decision-making, partnerships, learning design, research, evaluation, and governance, ensuring coherence and integrity across diverse contexts and initiatives.
The three pillars provide structural focus, ranging from student-centered learning design to educator and institutional enablement and strategic advancement and impact. The nine strategic values provide a shared orientation, shaping how experiential learning remains relational, reflective, and responsive while also being academically rigorous, research-informed, and future-focused.
Together, the UEL's Core Pillars and Strategic Values form an integrated framework that connects learning, systems, and sustainable impact.
