Direct purposeful experiences are concrete and firsthand
experiences that make up the foundation of learning. The students immerse on
hands-on activities to gain learning and experience. It also uses more senses,
thus, we can conclude that it is an effective method of learning. Our sense
helps us to construct ideas, concepts and generalizations that give meaning and
order to our lives. This experience is also called firsthand sensory
experiences.
On the other hand, indirect purposeful experiences are
experiences of other people that we observe, read or hear about. They are not
firsthand experiences but still a experience since we learn from it. Indirect
purposeful experience is a substitute of the experiences we have from reality.
Although firsthand experiences are proven effective, there
is still a downside of it. If not guided correctly by the teacher, the students
may interpret the concept or idea differently. This misconception can possibly
lead to confusion. Making the learning and experience vague.
Therefore, the teacher should provide proper guidance to the
students, along with proper instruction, precaution, and any necessary things
the teacher should do to ensure that the students will get the proper idea ad
build a clear and correct conception of what they are doing.
