contents Expanding Experiential Learning in Contemporary Adult Education: Embracing Technology, Interdisciplinarity, and Cultural Responsiveness Nicole Dillard Stephanie Sisco Joshua C. Collins New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education ABSTRACTThis article explores the evolution and expansion of experiential learning theory (ELT) within the context of contemporary adult education, emphasizing the integration of technology, interdisciplinarity, and cultural responsiveness. Although Kolb's foundational model has been instrumental in linking theoretical knowledge with practical application, its limitations—particularly in addressing the complexities of modern learning environments—are critically examined. The authors advocate for an expanded ELT framework incorporating interdisciplinary approaches to enrich adult learning experiences. By integrating digital tools, considering socio‐political contexts, and fostering collaboration, the article proposes a more inclusive and adaptable model that better aligns with the diverse needs of today's adult learners. This reconceptualization aims to enhance the relevance and efficacy of ELT, ensuring it remains a vital tool for personal, professional, and societal development in a rapidly changing world. 10.1002/ace.20539 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
