DIRECT, PURPOSEFUL EXPERIENCES
CONCRETE AND FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCES THAT MAKE UP OUR FOUNDATION OF LEARNING.
RICH EXPERIENCES THAT OUR SENSES BRING FROM WHICH WE CONSTRUCT THE IDEAS, THE CONCEPTS, THE GENERALIZATIONS THAT GIVE MEANING AND ORDER TO OUR LIVES. (DALE, 1969

IN OTHER WORDS…
Direct, purposeful experiences are firsthand, sensory experiences that serve as the foundation of learning.

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

INDIRECT ACTIVITIES
Climbing a mountain is firsthand, direct experience. Seeing it done in a film 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 .

What are these direct experiences described to be purposeful?
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 involve the asking of questions that have significance in the life of the person undergoing the direct experiences.

IMPLICATIONS TO THE TEACHING
PROCESS

1. GIVE STUDENTS OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN BY DOING.
![Page 25: DIRECT PURPOSEFUL EXPERIENCES](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022031904/55ca8fd1bb61eba30a8b4693/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
2. MAKE USE OF REAL THINGS AS INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR AS LONG
AS WE CAN
![Page 26: DIRECT PURPOSEFUL EXPERIENCES](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022031904/55ca8fd1bb61eba30a8b4693/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
3. HELP THE STUDENTS DEVELOP THEIR FIVE SENSES TO THE FULL TO HEIGHTEN
THEIR SENSITIVITY TO THE WORLD.

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

5. LET US NOT BE TEMPTED TO GET STUCK TO THE CONCRETE
AND FAIL TO BRING UP STUDENTS TO THE HIGHER LEVEL
OF THINKING PROCESS

APPROXIMATION OF HOW MUCH PERSONS LEARN THROUGH THE FIVE SENSES
![Page 30: DIRECT PURPOSEFUL EXPERIENCES](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022031904/55ca8fd1bb61eba30a8b4693/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
PERSONAL POSTSCRIPT
LEAD THE STUDENTS IN DRAWING GENERALIZATION OR ABSTRACTION ABOUT THE DIRECT EXPERIENCE FOR MEANING
FIRSTHAND SENSORY EXPERIENCE ALONE DOES NOT ENSURE ADEQUATE LEARNING.
