Prepared by: Antonio Delgado, BSEd II

10.  Experiences of
other people that
we observe, read or
hear about.

11.  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)

12. Direct, purposeful
experiences are
firsthand, sensory
experiences that
serve as the
foundation of
learning.

20.  They are not purely
mechanical. They
involve the asking of
significant questions.
 They are undergone
in relation to a
purpose.

21. “An ounce of
experience is better than
a ton of theories.”
-John Dewey
