Learning by doing

The ideation workshop reflects the notion of learning-by-doing, or experiential learning, a pedagogical approach that highlights the general idea that hands-on experiences favour the development of the creative individual than those brought about by uniform second-hand knowledge. In other words, self-initiated and self-directed thinking and doing rather than activities where the individual is being told what to do. This approach, moreover, implies the using of eye-hand coordination, and the other senses where necessary, to govern tools within the context of generating and communicating ideas (ideation tools). Such an approach, which allows the individual to excercise choice and judgement is core to ideation. That is, the workshop allows trial and error, the application of individual imagination and experience and, crucially, feedback. In short, learning by doing.
