The document discusses the experiential approach to learning mathematics, emphasizing that education is based on personal experiences. It outlines the experiential learning cycle, which involves engaging in activities, reflecting critically, sharing insights, and applying learned concepts to real-life situations. The conclusion asserts that this method enhances students' understanding of mathematical concepts and their application in everyday problems.
Experiential approach of learning mathematics- Thiyagu
- 1. Experiential Approach of Learning Mathematics K.THIYAGU Assistant Professor Department of Education Central University of Kerala
- 2. “Education is reconstruction of experiences” John Dewey
- 3. The continuity of experience is the philosophy of Educative Experiences. It is held that education is a development within, by, and for Experiences.
- 5. “No any mental activity will be completed without any physical activity.” (Einstein)
- 6. Learning takes place by interaction between the situation and the learner. When any situation acts up on the learner, the learner reacts, modifies his behaviour and this interaction results in learning.
- 7. Skill development occurs through Experiential Learning. Experiential Learning is an approach to learning in which participants engage in an activity, reflect on the activity critically, and obtain useful insight and learning.
- 8. Senses are the gate ways of knowledge. Sight, Hearing, Feeling or Touch, Smell and Taste
- 9. Senses Objectives Vision Hearing Touch Smell & Taste Knowledge 75 25 - Used only in some subjects such as identification of chemical, sanitation, cookery etc.Skill 25 10 65 Percentage of learning through different senses
- 11. • HEARING: Lecture, explanation, discussion etc. • VISION: Demonstrations, models, Computer, other AV aids • TOUCH: Practice by students, Physical participation
- 13. #1 - Experiencing Any activity that involves self-assessment or interpersonal interaction may be used as the “doing” part of experiential learning.
- 14. #2 - Publishing Share or publish what they observed and how they felt during that experience. This step involves finding out what happened within individuals, at both cognitive (knowledge and perception) and affective (emotional and feeling) levels, while the activity was progressing.
- 15. #3 - Processing Systematic examination of shared experiences by the members of the group.
- 16. #4 - Generalizing The members of the group begin to focus on their awareness of situations in their personal or work lives that are similar to those they experienced in the group
- 17. #5 - Applying The group leader helps group members apply generalizations to actual situations which they are experiencing
- 18. Examples Concept: Rate of interest Teacher may assign the students to observe the passbook of their parents of any bank. Students will understand and better way to apply the idea of interest and rate of interest in different situations if they learn it through experience.
- 19. Rationale for Use • More people using the same resources - producing higher efficiency in learning. • Apply this technique in various settings and adapt it to meet the diverse learning objectives • Allows exploration of communication skills and interpersonal relationships within organizations. • Provides group members with the opportunity to experience and understand issues related to responsibility. • Provides people with a peer group experience where they are able to demonstrate for themselves their capacities to help each other grow.
- 20. Conclusion Mathematics requires experiential learning where students are involved in their own understanding of mathematical concepts and practices. Through this type of learning, students are able to identify problems, use constructive reasoning to make viable arguments, and applying mathematics in real-life problems.
