DIRECT, PURPOSEFUL EXPERIENCES AND BEYOND

                                                               CHAPTER 7

SUMMARY:

                          " EXPERIENCE is the best teacher of our life"

          Whatever skills or concept that we have did not come out of the blue.they learned the skills by doing.and all these experiences point to the need to use,whenever we can, direct purposeful experiences in the teaching learning process. 

          Direct purposeful experiences are concrete and firsthand experiences that makeup the foundation of our learning.In contrast, Indirect experiences or vicarious experiences are experiences of other..people that we observe, read or hear about.

          Direct experiences is said to be purposeful because the experiences is not purely mechanical,it is accompanied by a purpose, i.e learning.

REFLECTION:

        I learned that learners need a first hand experiences,sharing ideas,skills, etc. with learners by telling or showing often is insufficient for them to learned.Learner needs to use and test ideas, skills,etc. through relevant activities.,And this is the direct purposeful experiences.
