Learning by Doing

Learning by doing.

There is really only one way to learn to do something and that is to do it. If you want to learn how to throw a ball, draw a picture, drive a car, design a building, you have to get started. Throughout history, young people have been trained in mastery to learn a trade. We understand that learning a skill  eventually means trying the hand. When there is really no harm in just trying, we allow novices to "try it." Parents usually teach children this way. They do not give a series of lectures to their children to learn walking, talking, climbing, running, 

playing or behave. They just let their kids do these things. We give a ball to a child to teach him how to throw. If he throws badly, he just tries again. Parents sitting in the beside /back seat while their teenager tries the driver's seat for the first time. It is scary, but parents bear it because they know there is no better way. When it comes to school, however, instead of allowing students to learn by doing, we create that explain to students the theory of the task without focusing on completing the task.
