Modes of Learning & How they Can be Combined in One Program

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

We learn…Clay mastery techniques address all modes of learning 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 MasteryTM, 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.
