The purpose of this paper is to examine, by analyzing the results of an online survey of university graduates in the social sciences, whether learning experiences related to academic writing improve experiential learning in the workplace after graduation.
The main findings are threefold. First, within the context of the learning experiences related to academic writing, there is a strong positive correlation between academic behavior and experiential learning. Second, the perspective of an outsider in learning experiences related to academic writing also displays a positive correlation. Third, other variables extracted from the period spent at university, with the exception of learning experiences related to academic writing, show no or only a very weak correlation with experiential learning.
In conclusion, these findings suggest that learning experiences related to academic writing improve experiential learning in the workplace after graduation to a certain extent.
