Eat!

‘Do not force feed, let the person freely eat’ - is an important lesson in the area of teaching. 

Traditional techniques choose the revealing theory followed by justifications to underline the importance and relevance of the revealed information. However the most effective method that meshes better with how the brain works and assimilates information, is to introduce it through the EAT theory.

The acronym EAT refers to Experience, Awareness and Theory. The approach starts with the learner going through an actual experience or sharing learnings from an earlier experience.

The second step includes debriefing and discussion to bring about an Awareness of what they experienced. Lastly to tie up loose ends, the trainer ensures the Theory is confirmed.

The reverse process focuses only on explaining the theory. Information is passed on but the probability of real transfer of knowledge is at a huge disadvantage.

Experiential learning draws its vision from the maxim that ‘lessons are not meant to be taught… they are meant to be learnt.’ It is about helping learners to embark on a dynamic journey of observation, thinking and interaction. We facilitate learning when we allow learners to EAT with an open mind!

Why fetter learners’ feet

Let them freely EAT!

 Here is the Monday Muse of 25 August

SOLO TRIP

Travelling leads to new insights of places, communities and their culture. While many prefer to travel with organised group tours, the truly liberating experience is on a solo trip.

Traveling solo offers opportunity for self-discovery, growth and exploration. It allows individuals to break free from constraints of routine, challenge themselves and develop a deeper understanding of the world and themselves

Solo trip gives you the freedom to create your own itinerary, make spontaneous decisions and explore at your own pace. Without the influence of others, you are forced to rely on yourself, leading to a greater understanding of your strengths and weaknesses.

Solo trip provides opportunities to meet fellow travelers and locals, potentially leading to lasting connections and friendships. Traveling alone pushes you to navigate unfamiliar environments, try new foods and engage in activities you might not have attempted otherwise.

Travelling in a group may bring along comfort and convenience, but it also makes for restrictive framework. When we are free to explore, it ensures the benefits of choice and expecting the unexpected. We end up discovering our true self.


Solo trip brings along lots of freedoms truly fine

Besides places and people, discover self sublime
