CHAPTER 5

LEARNING BY

DOING

When you experience

something first-hand, you’re

a more active learner than

when you just watch or

listen to someone else’s

experience. Also, being

involved in an activity can

trigger thinking. Some

people learn better when

they’re doing something or

when a part of them is

moving; these people are

kinesthetic learners. This

chapter shows you how

active learning is important,

no matter what your

learning style. It also shows

you how to use movement

and doing to study

more effectively.

How did you learn to ride a bike? To

dance? To speak? You learned by doing. Nothing can replace

the physical act of doing the thing you’re trying to learn.

Participating in a dance class forces the dancer to experience the move￾ments she is trying to learn, thereby accelerating her learning process.

Passively watching a dance recital may help her decide what kind of

expertise she wants to acquire; however, she will not become an accom￾plished dancer by simply observing.
