These adult students from diverse socio economic background felt difficulty to comply with style of teaching being commonly practiced in their higher education. Six interviews were conducted from the teachers of public sector universities in Karachi. The results of the study revealed that in higher education students were engaged in diverse range of approaches related to experimentation, reflective observation and concrete experiences; however, abstract conceptualization was missing approach in the outlook of Experiential Learning Model (ELM).
