The document discusses different methods of experiential learning including direct purposeful experience, representative experience, and dramatic participation which involve hands-on learning or recreating experiences. It also covers demonstration, field trips, exhibitions, television, motion pictures, radio, still pictures, visual symbols, and verbal symbols as other methods of bringing real-world examples or simulations into the classroom through various media when direct experience is not possible. These methods provide different ways to make concepts more concrete and accessible for students through active participation or observation.
5. Direct purposeful experience
First hand experience.
Have direct participation in the out come.
Use of all senses.
It is learning by doing.
Examples:
Working in a homeshelter
6. Representative experience
We make use of a representative model and mock-ups of
reality.

perception and understanding.
Necessary when real experience cannot be used
Examples:
Use of pilot simulator.
7. Dramatic participation
Reconstructed experiences.
Can be used to simplify an event or idea to its most
important part
Stirring and attention getting.
Teaches co-operative work
8. Demonstration
A visualized explanation of an important facts, ideas or
process.
Shows how certain things are done
Demonstrations are a great mistake of concrete hands on
application and abstract verbal explanation.
9. Field trip & Exhibition
Watch people do things in
real situation
Observe an event that is un
available in the class room.
This are excursion , education
trip and visits conducted to
observe an event that is
unavailable with in the class
room
Something seen by a
spectator.
Two type
Ready made
Museum
Career fair
Home made
Class room project
Field trip Exhibition
10. Television & Motion pictures
Bring immediate
interaction with events
from around the world
Media which contains a
loot of information.
Can omit unnecessary or
unimportant material.
Viewing , seeing and
hearing experience.
Can re-create events that
even slower students can
grasp.
Television Motion pictures
11. Radio & Still pictures
Oldest method.
Can be understood by
people cannot read.
Auditory device which can
be used by an individual or
group.
Method is helpful to
students who cannot deal
with the motion pictures.
This are visual device
used by an individual or
group.
Radio Still pictures
12. Visual symbols
No longer involves reproducing real situations.
Chalkboard and over head projectors are the most widely
used media
Example:
Chalkboard
Flat maps
Diagrams
Chart
13. Verbal symbols
They are not like the objects or ideas for which they stand.
