In teaching, presenting the lesson without having a direct experience of the instructional materials in the student's part is pointless. Experience is the best teacher as what they say. Therefore, the teacher should let the student experience in using the concrete instructional materials and exploring them by themselves. The experience that was mentioned above can be seen in Edgar Dale's Cone of Experience which shows different materials/elements that can be used by the teacher to make the lesson more understandable. The Cone of Experience is closely related to Bruner's Three-Tiered Model of learning which has steps in presenting the student the lesson and getting them involved in the activities by using different kinds of symbols and illustrations and convert them into action.
