4. What do Direct Purposeful
Experience refer 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)

9. Indirect, Purposeful
Experience
• They are not our own self-
experiences but still
experiences in the sense that
we see, read and hear about
them.
(Firsthand sensory
Experience)

10. Why 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 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

Experience
And
Beyond

12. Direct purposeful experience
leads us to higher plane. It
implies that these direct
experiences must not be the
period of a dead end. The
higher plane referred to “here
is the level of generalization
and abstraction”.

13. Appropriate use of direct,
purposeful experience
• You know which direct experiences
will serve your purpose.
• You know when to use them and how
to use them.
• You have the skill to lead the
students in drawing generalization or
abstraction.
