1. Initiative.
Traditionally, teachers are the center of teaching, and students only need to concentrate on listening and take notes carefully. Experiential learning can make learners take the initiative, take the main responsibility for their own learning, and truly become the main body of the learning process. In the experiential situation, students' learning initiative is fully mobilized.
Get up, consciously feel, operate and discover. Students' learning is naturally integrated under the attraction and promotion of the scene, and all kinds of senses automatically participate, just like traveling, just like working, just like watching movies, just like chatting. With the participation of nature, learning seems relaxed and natural.
2. entertaining and entertaining.
The new curriculum advocates happy learning, and advocates changing students from "weariness" to "longing", from "bitterness" to "happiness" and from "asking me to learn" to "I want to learn". But it is not easy to turn learning into a happy process. The premise of happiness is that learners' happy mood is mobilized. How can we arouse the happy mood of learners? There are two prerequisites, that is, there must be things or situations that students are interested in, and students should actively participate. Interest is the direct driving force for children to learn knowledge, participate in activities, receive education and develop their abilities. "Initiative" can give full play to the internal enthusiasm of the subject. Experiential learning students are generally placed in certain real or simulated situations, and students' interests can be easily mobilized; Experience requires students to take personal experience as the main body, watch Lushan Waterfalls and videos in the landscape, personally experience the magnetic field lines, personally operate computers, personally exercise and learn to play basketball and volleyball, personally recite poems and essays, and debate with classmates and teachers. These experiences are all happy. Therefore, experiential learning has this function, which integrates learning and entertainment.
3. apply what you have learned.
Applying what you have learned is a difficult problem in traditional education. One of the reasons is that students have little place, time and opportunity to apply knowledge to solve practical problems. Experiential learning directly combines the process of learning and application, or puts learning in a real situation, or is close to the real situation, which is more conducive to students' understanding of the meaning of the knowledge, skills and methods they have learned, and can internalize learning into their own emotions, attitudes and values. For example, in the second-grade ideological and moral course 2.3 "Be kind to others", when there is a box topic of "Help others, be kind to others", students are required to help people in trouble to do a good deed in advance and to tell their own experiences in class. Students must have rich experience. Through the exchange of classmates and the guidance of teachers, students can not only sublimate the moral knowledge of "giving us the value and ability to experience ourselves", but also practice a moral activity.
4. The combination of reality and reality.
Experiential learning is a kind of situational learning, and the learning process is placed in various virtual or real language situations.
5. Sensitization
In experiential learning, teachers design to integrate what they want to learn into specific scenes, which are vivid, audible and tangible, and students directly participate, and almost all their sensory organs are mobilized to participate. What students get, some of which are difficult to achieve in language description, and what they experience often have a greater impact on their thinking and give students a deeper impression than language description. For example, students watching the movie "A Broken Ship in the Wang Yang" have a stronger understanding of "being strong" than any language preaching; Watching videos about mudslides is more impressive than simply learning words about mudslides. Visiting lonely old people can make students realize the meaning of "helping others". This way of learning is very experiential. This kind of harvest of students is hard to get in traditional teaching-accepting learning.
6. Personal experience
Experience is the students' own experience. Whether it is watching, visiting, scenario simulation, activities, role-playing and other specific experiential learning activities, students are required to participate and experience in person as the main body. There is no substitute for outsiders. In the process of activities, mobilize all the sensory organs of students, and participate in and learn feelings in various ways. As I said above, watching the video of Lushan Waterfall, the experiment of magnetic field lines, watching the movie "The Broken Ship in Wang Yang" or helping people in trouble, students all participate in the activities and feel the whole process personally, and their subjective cognitive role is irreplaceable by teachers.
Step 7 feel
Experiential learning can enable students to obtain first-hand experience, concrete feelings, feelings, perceptions and representations of knowledge, skills, processes, methods and emotions, but it cannot stop at this level. Students should sublimate these things into scientific theories, literary skills, morality, concepts, attitudes and values under the guidance of teachers. That is to say, let students realize certain truths, moral concepts and so on. For example, after watching Lushan Waterfall, the teacher should guide students to exchange views and understand the beauty of poetry and the mystery of the poet's writing techniques. Students have done a good thing to help people in trouble, and teachers should guide students to sublimate to the understanding of morality.
