This study examined the perceived knowledge, use, and effectiveness of experiential learning within Pennsylvania 4-H clubs using an on-line survey of Extension educators and volunteer. Though only 16% of the volunteer leaders indicated that they were knowledgeable of the term experiential learning, 68 percent indicated they used experiential learning within club activities. The Extension educators reported a higher composite mean score compared to volunteer leaders in the categories of knowledge and effectiveness of experiential learning. A follow-up should be conducted to determine if all the steps of the experiential learning model are being incorporated.
