Since the first industrial revolution, a specific mechanical paradigm of teaching and learning has dominated western education tradition, known as concept-based teaching and learning. This paradigm has reverberated and affected research, curriculum design, and teaching practices since the early 1960s, as well as nourishing important ideas for current discussions on the importance of factual information in curricula. In this presentation, we suggest that education ought to embrace experience-based learning as a reacting paradigm to the dominant reductionist concept-based teaching paradigm. We see XR technologies in education having the potential to facilitate experience-based learning, where learners and XR technologies can become ‘one entity’ together, to explore, understand, and experience the learning process in self-determined ways.
