MAIN ACTIVITIES
One of the key elements behind our different learning styles and levels is our differences We designed our activities accordingly with Kolb's model, that is based on the Experiential Learning Theory, which is one of the most accepted and used content in learning The stages of this learning cycle includes:
- Experiencing real or lifelike,
- Analysis of the actual experience and sharing of feelings about the experience,
- Associating the inferences made with daily life
- Using the information obtained as a result of association in real life
First, we learn something new Next, we think about what we ’ ve learned and how we’d like to apply it Then, we apply what we ’ ve learned in the real world Finally, we reflect on the experience and figure out where we could improve. Our activities designed to follow these stages when discovering the potential role of gamification in youth work
