Educate children through direct experiences | Part 12
Direct experiences provide meaningful learning, where what is acquired is lasting over time. Being exposed to an unknown environment becomes a pleasant challenge, in which you have the need to experiment, discover and learn how it works.
These learning experiences develop skills and aptitudes to solve problems, preparing us for life and for daily work.
Direct experience with of virtual reality technology.
It creates in students a perception of being immersed experiencing any unimaginable situation in a real way.
Providing virtual reality technology in the classes is, without a doubt, the most powerful tool ever created and with an excellent approval for an effective development. It is a fun and satisfying method of learning, this type of simulations are useful for the creation of important projects that generate in students a stimulus to want to learn and participate more in the classes.
This software increases the educational environment and a more active learning, since they can live experiences and move within the contents that have been traditionally learned in the classroom.
Objectives of the direct experience with virtual reality equipment.
- Learn through active processes, based on experience and experimentation.
- Turning the environment into something real for learning.
- Provide the student the ability to assimilate content that allows an effective execution of the action at the time of practice.
Function to be exercised by the educator for the virtual reality experience.
The educator is committed to offer students the most effective way of learning, which generates confidence to bring the experience to a reality of everyday life, generating results along the way in their development process.
When it is proposed in class to approach this method to study, evaluate, investigate and be bold when executing, research and creation skills are being put into practice.
Learning and fun activities with virtual reality technology.
Facilitating tasks such as exploring and solving increases motivation, providing a greater impact on learning. Each activity involves something different and fascinating, which needs to be learned.
Some of the activities to be done to break the barriers in the classroom are:
Mechanics. The assembly of pieces in a virtual way, provides the opportunity to put into practice what has been learned in everyday life. What is intended is that the study lived directly from these experiences become a reality.
Students always challenge themselves, to want to evolve and this is an excellent initiative to achieve it.
Travel through the interior of the human body. It is a good thing, since it is possible to retain a lot of information about what has been experienced. Virtual reality, provides students with physically impossible experiences to perform in the real world, however, with the practice of these direct experience activities it is intended that in the future they can be executed successfully.
Visit to the solar system. Know the planets and the different characteristics they have, it is an interesting journey where you experience what you can not see at a glance, we can feel more connected with what surrounds us, through this technology we experience something different and unique.
Dissect. This experience is satisfactory and manages to create a sense of responsibility in children, being careful, knowing what movements to perform, learning to trust, putting into practice what has been learned in conventional classes. To realize an anatomical study of an animal seems simple, but it is not it, for it they must go through a series of steps studied to achieve its mission.
These experiences help students to be more confident, and strive to be better, as each step is a challenge that they constantly face which they must overcome with a good disposition.
Below is a video of the use of the virtual reality equipment in the classroom as an educational tool.
The search for better strategies for student learning becomes more and more interesting, and nowadays it is demonstrated that technology has become indispensable for an effective development of the individual.
Greetings educators and motivators of education.
Make sure that how to understand children. We should follow that way.
Understand their needs for appreciation, that direct experiences help in their development and create autonomy, translating this to a greater capacity in children to face them in everyday life without any problem.
Creative Learning 😀😁👍
Hello, thank you very much, in my country, only the private schools I assume should have this system, unless you visit a museum or a site designed for that purpose so that the children can learn and enjoy. I would like this activity to be used all over the world.
Yes to VR! I have presented papers at done projects using VR with google cardboard, the children absolutely love them.. Now if only I could bring a HTC Vive or Occulus rift to school...
I imagine it is a very expensive system, but if you join forces, as users and as a community in general, in common for this purpose, it would be great. You could plan, do not you think? join by countries generate income and help pay for these equipment. Do you think we could do something with this idea?
educate the style of today.
Technology advances in a big way and without a doubt, we are immersed in its growth, and as the technology is bigger we need to learn from it.
Wow @cindycam, that's so revealing. Haven't heard about this before but it might be too expensive. Else it's worth acquiring even though it's a few pieces.
Is the safety aspect clear? Generally, Visual learning is known to be the best and most retentive method of learning.
It all helps to feed the learner's curiosity.
If the equipment is expensive, but if you could count on one and help the children to experiment and learn through it, it would be great. The technological advance every day is bigger and we need to keep pace.
Quite true.
Nice one there.
