Learning by Doing Program
Since the inception of Zamorano, Popenoe has based the educational model on constructivism. This learning theory posits that students construct knowledge through experiential learning, i.e., through work, practice, and social interaction with their environment.
El aExperiential learning allows students to actively build knowledge, values, and develop capabilities either individually or collectively. (Bodner, Klobuchar, & Geelan, 2001; Hinde & Perry, 2007; Tuddenham, 1966, Joldersma, 2011).
Wilson Popenoe, the founder of EAP Zamorano, adopted the motto of ‘Learning by Doing’ from the very beginning, reflected in the Latin expression ‘Labor Omnia Vincit’ (Work conquers all).
