Educating children through direct experiences | Part 1

Source
The direct experiences are all those that involve a direct contact with reality, the outputs are one of the possible forms of direct experiences, which achieve a great educational value, and which previously planned, achieve great results because, to the extent that the teacher has a clear content to address, the student will learn what is necessary.

When it is proposed that the children have direct experiences, what is wanted is to achieve the greatest participation of the students in the achievement of their learning, since strategies are generated that start from the lived reality for the development of skills and aptitudes in the solution of problems, generating confidence and security.

It is intended that with this learning methodology such as: outdoor activities, simulations, activities in the classroom or in authorized places, the child will be helped to mature and grow more effectively.

Direct experience in the library.

It is the initiation and approach to the world of literature, which seeks the full enjoyment of the story or poetry, submerging in writings full of joy, fear, suspense and charm, capturing the full attention of children and direct involvement for a closer approach to reality.

Participation of children in the library.

The children are in all their power to act freely and move to their liking to know and discover what the library and books do in the human being.

Children are free to do the following:

• Express yourself without reservations and make your ideas known.
• Observe, to determine what will be nice to investigate.
• Exchange interests and tastes for literature.
• Inquire and learn to look for topics of interest and this will create habits that lead to the organization.

Activities after the visit in the library.

Once finished the exit, and being in the classroom the teacher can ask a series of questions to the children, as for example:

What do you think of the exit?
What kind of reading has caught your attention?

The educator has the duty to continue encouraging the children to read, and for this they can carry out an activity in the classroom, which can be the following:

The organization of a classroom library, where children sort books by color, act as librarians on a rotating basis and can maintain enthusiasm for the library, books and reading. Therefore, this will make them want to continue having direct experiences that serve their development.

I hope that this activity can be put into practice, generating the best results.

Greetings educators and motivators of education.
