activity. Have you learned something from our
activity?
Good job! Your previous activity is connected to
what we are going to discuss today.
Our topic is learning by doing theory of John
Dewey. First, let us know who is John Dewey.
John Dewey was an American philosopher and
educator born on October 20, 1859, in Burlington,
Vermont, USA. He was a co-founder of the
philosophical movement known as pragmatism,
which is the way of dealing with problems and
situations that focuses on practical approaches
and situations. With his further study in child
psychology, Dewey developed a philosophy of
education that would meet the needs of society.
He died on June 01, 1952, at New York.
John Dewey's Ideas in his theory “Learning by
Doing”.
• In teaching and learning, practical
problem-solving and theoretical teaching
should go hand in hand.
All: Yes, teacher.
Do you like solving problems?
Very good! That means you are great problem-
solver.
• The students better learn through hands-
on activities.
Do you like doing activities you can touch and
manipulate? All: Yes, teacher

• In the teaching-learning process, the

teacher's primary role is to facilitate.
• “Education is not preparation for life;
education is life itself.”
• “Children are first and foremost interested
in moving, communicating, exploring the
world, constructing and expressing
themselves artistically.”
• Children should learn life skills.
All: Yes, teacher.
Did you learn the lesson we discussed?
Very good! What is the theory that says students Jay-Ar: Learning by doing is the theory
best learn through hands-on activities? that says students best learn through
hands-on activities.

E. Elaborate
We will divide you into two groups, and each
group will have 4 representatives to go in front.
The game is called “Puzzle Relay”. The
mechanics of the game are simple:
*The students listen attentively*
Here's the mechanics:
1. Form a single file line with your group.
2. Each player should put 2 pieces of the puzzle.
3. The person at the front of the line will race to
the front to put 2 pieces of the puzzle and that
player will run back to tag the next player in line.
4. The next player will then take their turn as the
game continues.
5. The first group to complete the puzzle correctly
wins the game.
This activity will last for 10 minutes.
Are you ready? All: Yes, teacher.
Great! Let’s start the race. *The students play the Puzzle Relay*
After that, you will be able to answer the
questions that I provide.
