Which type of learning combines thinking and reasoning with the behavioural task of manipulating objects to solve problems? Correct Answer Learning by doing

Learning by doing or through participation is considered an effective means for meaningful learning. Doing gives the real experience of solving real-life problems. It is a way of combining thinking and reasoning with the practical act of manipulating objects for solving a problem. Undoubtedly it promotes self-learning and self-assessment which are the ultimate goal of the learning process. It promotes:

  • Sharing of experience among each other;
  • Pooling combined resources for successful completion of the task;
  • Searching, debating, and coming out with innovative and alternative ways of solving problem; 
  • Developing social qualities like helping, sharing, fellow feeling, and accepting responsibility; 
  • Developing personal qualities like self-confidence, self-esteem, courage to ask questions.

Hence, we conclude that the above statement is about learning by doing.
