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)
• Direct, purposeful experiences
are first hand, sensory
experiences that serves as the
foundation of our learning.
Direct Activities:
 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.
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.
• 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
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?
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.
1. Give students opportunities
to learn by doing.
2. Make use of real things as
instructional materials for as
long as we can.
3. Help the students develop the 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.
“Experience is the
best teacher.”

• Apply the concept of direct experiences to the
college courses you have taken. Were there
missed opportunities for direct experiences? If yes,
what are they?

• Go over the Re-structured Basic Education

Curriculum (RBEC). Find out which competencies
can be best taught through direct experience.
