This paper will discuss the role of outdoor experiential learning in the development of adults who are participants in community leadership programs in regional Victoria, Australia. Discussion will be based on my experience as an outdoor instructor/facilitator on five such community leadership programs. The emphasis will be on the power of experiential learning in the outdoors for expanding individual's perceptions of their own potential as leaders in their local communities. It will also explore the significance of the outdoor setting in the process of individual and social change in this context.

In the workshop I will give a short overview of what recent research on mathematics teaching is telling us. But most of the time will be devoted to doing mathematical activities in groups.

I will to focus on the difference between instrumental and relational understanding in mathematics (R. Skemp). I want to show and discuss ways of teaching and learning mathematics that are active. Active learning increases the possibility that the mathematical understanding of the learner becomes relational.

Can using reflective journals enhance experiential learning?

The aim of this workshop is to grapple with some of the issues concerning use of reflective journals or diaries and their potential role in aiding reflection on experience. In keeping with the conference theme, my focus will be on exploration of the relationship between reflection and experience as part of individual and social change.

I hope we can think about questions such as: what is a reflective journal? why keep one? what does it look like? for whose benefit is it? can it be assessed?

I will share learning from my own experience of reflective journals; having used them for several years as both a student and as a teacher. As a teacher I have used journals with a variety of groups including initially community work students and most recently hospital consultants. I hope participants will share their experiences to further our collective thinking.
