Modes of learning

Dr. Glasser is an internationally recognized psychiatrist who has been studying learning for decades.  He states:

We learn…
10% of what we read
20% of what we hear
30% of what we see
50% of what we see and hear
70% of what we discuss
80% of what we experience
95% of what we teach others.

Applied:

The steps of Davis Symbol Mastery^TM, provided at Rocky Point Academy,  include all modes:

Reading: The definition is read, displayed visually and then the word is written in clay under each model.

Hearing:  Each part of the model is verbally identified by both the facilitator and the client.

Seeing: Visual models of concepts are created and viewed by the client.  Charts or diagrams are used to supplement learning as needed.

Discussing: Discussion is used to guide the client towards discovery and creation of each part of the model, until complete understanding is achieved.

Experiencing: Clients create the meaning in three-dimensional, real world clay models and then find examples in their environment.

Teaching: The client teaches the concept back to their facilitator to clarify complete mastery.
