Experiential Learning

Important Note for Gurus

• Balvikas Gurus are requested to read this thoroughly and use the activity in their Balvikas classes.
• Gurus may observe that in Balvikas Group I syllabus, experiential learning is limited to the stage of ‘Mind Mapping and Web Charting’ i.e., only upto the first 4 steps given in the following document under the heading ‘how to proceed’.
• However the entire procedure has been given here so that gurus understand this activity and its benefit in entirety.
• It is to be noted that the theory part is for the understanding of the Gurus only and not required to be “taught as a lesson” in class.
• The practical activity alone needs to be done in the Balvikas class.
• A sample activity is given at the end of this write up on experiential learning.
