LESSON 7

DIRECT PURPOSEFUL EXPERIENCES AND BEYOND

SUMMARY:

       This is a concrete and first hand experiences that make up the foundation of our learning.A 

rich experiences that our senses bring from which we construct the ideas, the concepts, the 

generalizations that give meaning and order.

        The opposite of this is the indirect or vicarious experiences, these are the experiences of 

other people.

we can acquire these through reading, observing or just by listening from others. 


Direct purposeful experience is important because:

• the experiences are not purely mechanical
• experiences that are internalized in the sense that these experiences involved the asking of questions that have significance in the life of the person undergoing the direct experiences
• the experiences are undergone in the relation to a purpose. e.i., learning

         Direct, Purposeful Experiences and Beyond implies that these direct experiences not be the period or the end. We must be brought to the higher plane or the level of generalization and abstraction.

REFLECTION:

direct experiences lead us to concept formation and abstraction. We should not end our lessons knowing only concrete. we should go beyond what is in the books, TV & internet , and let our students learn through their senses.
