Firsthand Learning, Inc. promotes firsthand learning, which
is learning from direct experience.
Firsthand learning empowers people by providing them with opportunities to
figure things out for themselves, to believe in the analytical abilities of
their own minds, and to connect with the world around them.
Firsthand learning arises from the learner's innate curiosity and the desire
to investigate real phenomena. It requires close engagement with the immediate
environment.
Firsthand learning generates questions that focus subsequent investigations.
It invites learners to gather and record their observations, to analyze and
interpret them, and to arrive at provisional answers.
Firsthand learning involves communication of the results of this investigative
process. Sharing evidence and discussing findings with others underscores
that learning is a social process.
