Welcome to the Koanly blog! In our continuous search to find educational approaches that enrich and boost student growth, we find the interesting perspective of Experiential or Naturalistic Model. This trend, also recognized as the “active school”, is mainly intended to stimulate students' inner growth, allowing their development as genuine and independent people. But... what benefits would it have to include the generative intelligence in the experiential or naturalistic teaching model? We'll tell you about it below. Keep reading to find out!
What characterizes the experiential or naturalistic model of teaching?
One of the most fascinating features of the Experiential Model is its focus on practice-based learning. Both the teacher and the student acquire knowledge as they participate in the execution of specific activities, which:
- It promotes deep understanding.
- It develops practical skills and the ability to apply knowledge in real situations.
In the Experiential Model, therefore, there are two very important roles:
- El student, the absolute protagonist of his own learning. The student builds their own knowledge based on their experiences and natural qualities, resulting in genuine and personalized learning.
- El lecturer, who becomes a guide and protector of the student's learning journey. Rather than imparting knowledge, it creates an environment conducive to discovery and exploration. Through workshops, excursions and laboratories, the generation of knowledge by students is encouraged, stimulating direct interaction with reality and the environment.
What is the fundamental objective of this experiential system?
The ultimate goal of the Experiential Model is to form authentic and free individuals, capable of cultivating their natural qualities and abilities. Through exploration and experimentation, students develop their innate goodness and immerse themselves in the study of life itself. Qualitative evaluation, based on integrity and individual progress, replaces competence and the quantitative approach.
How does IAG influence experiential or naturalistic teaching?
Are you able to imagine an educational future in which the The Experiential Model merges with the technological avant-garde? Generative Intelligence is a very valuable resource to further enrich and complement this approach. Here are some ways in which the IAE can complement this teaching system:
- Personalization and attention to diversity: The IAG can adapt content and activities to meet the unique needs of each student.
- Autonomy and organization: The IAG can assist students in planning their tasks and activities, allowing them to manage their time efficiently and stay organized.
- Resolve real situations: through collaboration, students can develop practical and creative skills while solving real challenges.
Benefits of including Generative Artificial Intelligence in the experiential teaching system
Thus, the incorporation of Generative Artificial Intelligence in the experiential teaching system can provide a number of significant benefits that further enrich this educational approach:
- Creative Encouragement: The IAG can generate creative content that inspires students to explore new forms of expression and creativity.
- Scenario generation: The IAG can create unique and challenging learning scenarios, allowing students to face diverse situations that reflect real life. These scenarios could range from ethical issues to problem-solving challenges, encouraging critical thinking and informed decision-making.
- Reflexive Stimulus: The IAG can produce thoughtful questions and provocations that guide students in their process of self-reflection and self-evaluation.
- Generation of teaching resources: The IAG can create educational materials, such as readings, videos and exercises, that are directly related to students' experiences and objectives. This provides a diverse set of resources to support your explorations.
- Diversity of perspectives: The IAG can simulate different perspectives and points of view, allowing students to explore a variety of approaches to the same problem.
- Experiential personalization: The IAG can adapt learning experiences according to each student's individual preferences and progress.
- Pedagogical innovation: the integration of the IAG into the experiential approach encourages innovation in pedagogy by introducing new forms of interaction and participation in the educational process.
In short, Generative Artificial Intelligence can enrich the experiential teaching system by providing creative elements, personalized resources, and opportunities for individual exploration and growth, all perfectly aligned with the fundamental objectives of this educational approach.
