CHAPTER 7: TEACHING WITH DIRECT PURPOSEFUL EXPERIENCE

ORGANIZER:

REFLECTION:

     Direct purposeful experience are our concrete and first hand experiences that make up the foundation of learning. These are the rich experiences that our senses bring from which we construct  the ideas, the concepts, the generalizations that give meaning and order to our lives (Dales).

     Direct purposeful experience can be of help to us wherein it can develop our higher level thinking skills because it involves abstraction and concept formation.

     Direct experience is purposeful in a sense that the experiences that we learned inside and outside the classroom has a purpose wherein those learning the we experienced will serve as our guiding principle and application in the future.
