2. What do direct, Purposeful Experiences
refers to?
•These are our concrete experiences and
first hand Experiences that make up the
foundation of our learning.
•These are the rich experiences that our
senses bring from which we construct the
ideas, the concepts, the generalization
that give meaning and order to our lives.
( Dale, 1969)

3. • Direct, purposeful experiences
are first hand, sensory
experiences that serves as the
foundation of our learning.

4. DIRECT ACTIVITIES:

11. INDIRECT, PURPOSEFUL EXPERIENCES
• Are experience of other people that we
observe, read or hear about.
• They are not our own self-experiences but
still experiences in the sense that we see,
read and hear about them.

12. INDIRECT ACTIVITIES :
Climbing a mountain is
firsthand, direct experience.
Seeing it done in films or
reading about it is a vicarious,
substitute experience. It is a
clear, therefore , that we can
approach the world of reality
directly through the senses and
indirectly with reduced sensory
experience.

14. • Purposeful because the experiences
are not purely mechanical. They are
not a matter of going through the
motion. These are not “mere sensory
excitation”. They are experiences that
are internalized in the sense that
these experiences involve the asking of
questions that have significance in the
life of the person undergoing the direct
experience

15. QUESTION:
• Why do we want our students to
have a direct experience in
conducting an experiment in the
laboratory?
• Where should these direct,
purposeful experiences lead us to?

16. It is done in relation to a certain learning objective.
Implies that these direct experiences must not be
the period or the end. We must be brought to a
higher plane. The higher plane referred to here is
the level of generalization and abstraction.

18. 1. GIVE STUDENTS OPPORTUNITIES
TO LEARN BY DOING.

19. 2. MAKE USE OF REAL THINGS AS
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR AS
LONG AS WE CAN.

20. 3. HELP THE STUDENTS DEVELOP THE FIVE
SENSES TO THE FULL TO HEIGHTEN THEIR
SENSITIVITY TO THE WORLD.

21. 4. GUIDE STUDENTS SO THAT THEY CAN DRAW
MEANING FROM THEIR FIRSTHAND
EXPERIENCES.

23. “EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST
TEACHER.”
