Experiential
paradigm
Experiencing
is the basis for knowing in Experiential paradigm. The teacher and
teaching is absent but learner and the learning is the permanent and
continuous fact of life.
In the
non literate ‘doing’ societies every situation is a learning
situation. Here to live means to learn. Children are left completely
free to explore their world. Free to wake up when they want, free to
sleep when they want free to eat when they want. The time is
regulated by nature. Time to sleep is when the sun sets. Children in
these communities become very independent very early. None of this
means chaos. Infact since children are never punished nor are they
asked not to do anything the children never learn or acquire the to
be angry nor protest
