Progressive Education

"Knowledge gained during a real experience is better understood and retained longer."

This statement also underlines the importance of hands-on experience in learning. Throughout history, humans have learned actively and significantly through interactions with the environment, facing real situations, and solving specific problems.

Real experiences encourage active learning, where individuals actively participate in acquiring knowledge. By interacting directly with real-world situations, students engage in cognitive processes that go beyond simple memorization. Active participation drives deep understanding by connecting abstract concepts with practical applications.

Knowledge construction is most effective when it is based on tangible experiences. Students understand facts and concepts by facing real challenges and developing problem-solving and critical thinking skills. The connection between theory and practice is strengthened, allowing a more complete internalization of information.

Real experiences capture students' attention by providing meaningful and applicable contexts to their lives. Intrinsic motivation increases when students recognize the relevance of what they are learning. This more personalized and applied approach creates a lasting interest and continued desire to learn.
