Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Reflection: considering what happened and why, to draw lessons.
Application: using the learned skills or insights in new situations.
Examples: science labs, internships, project work, field trips, role-plays, hands-on workshops. Why the correct answer fits: Learning by doing directly matches the definition because it involves performing tasks and reflecting to gain understanding.
Why the other choices are not correct: Writing new information: This is note-taking or recording, which may accompany learning but does not itself involve experiential engagement and reflection.
Act of memorizing: Memorization focuses on recall and rote learning, whereas experimental learning emphasizes understanding through experience.
Frequent drilling: Repetition builds practice and fluency but lacks the reflective, authentic task-based cycle central to experimental learning.
