Because practical learning is always best type of learning....................
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. - Confucius
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. - Benjamin Franklin
Because it gives the learners an opportunity to practice the theories they have learnt at school or university.
Becauze the fundamental theory for the same , is to Re align the Dots .
Because this method makes the learner interactive and involved in the learning process more than others and feel the learner positive reinforcement
because a learning organization is "the way" to success, especially in this times when there is no more one-exact-solution to a complex problem. Today's answer often will only serve today's question. Tomorrow will require a different answers. Therefore, an on-going shared learning has to be in the core of a successful company.
If learning is accelerate or not is down to the learning retention rate. Learning in a manner that supports a long term retention is key in order to both accelerate the learning, but also to ensure that it is conducted in a cost efficient manner. After all Why spend time on learning, if it is "only" short term.
As the illustration shows, it is imperative that learning is conducted while either discussing, practising or teaching others. These three options are best facilitated if they are conducted in connection to something that the learner can relate to. Therefore my answer to your question is that focussing on tangible experience accelerates the learning process, as long as it happens within the three arena's described.
It guides you in making the best choices in how to set-up the learning environment, in the design of learning programs to meet the needs of all learners, and in facilitating so that the learning process is both deepened and accelerated. Learners retain more. They apply learning more effectively at work and in their personal lives. Their ability to think critically, systemically and inventively increases. They become more adept and agile learners!
"No learning man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.."
Connecting a learning experience to actual work will increase the relevance of the offered knowledge, skills and attitude.
High relevance is is crucial for retention and transfer to the workplace.
I hope this helps.
