体験 vs 経験

体験たいけん is a word that focuses on one’s actual involvement and/or participation in the experience. It could be one-off experience and whether or not you got good at it or you have learned anything from it does not matter. Also, 体験たいけん is something you experience on your own decision, rather than being forced to go through. On the other hand, 経験けいけん includes the influence or impact of the 体験たいけん afterwards. If someone goes through an experience unwillingly, like experiencing the loss of a loved one, it is usually called a 経験けいけん, not 体験たいけん.

 

In the photo, it says:

 

Here, the actual act of doing the Kemari is a 体験たいけん but if you have learned something out of it, it becomes a 経験けいけん.

 

So, “hands-on learning” is called 体験たいけん学習がくしゅう but not 経験けいけん学習がくしゅう.
“A report on experience” is 体験たいけんレポート but not 経験けいけんレポート.
In these phrases, hands-on experience is what that matters.

 

On the other hand, an “experienced teacher” is called 経験けいけんのある先生せんせい, not 体験たいけんのある先生せんせい because he/she is a teacher who has learned the art of teaching, not somebody with a one-off hands-on experience of teaching, which could be described as 指導しどう体験たいけんのある先生せんせい, a teacher who has had a first hand experience of teaching once or twice but not necessarily an “experienced” teacher.
