Traditional education was designed for the Industrial Revolution, but today’s world demands a new approach. At Doer, we embrace modern learning models—project-based, problem-based, self-directed, social learning, and the flipped classroom—to foster independence, creativity, and critical thinking. Our methods prepare individuals for real-world challenges by emphasizing hands-on experience, collaboration, and personal growth. Discover how Doer is shaping the future of education.

Introduction

The traditional education system was designed during the Industrial Revolution to prepare workers for factory jobs. This rigid structure emphasized obedience and limited skill development, restricting independent, creative, and critical thinking. Despite the evolving world, this model has remained largely unchanged.

Modern education, however, emerged in response to technological and societal transformations. Unlike traditional systems dictated by institutions, modern education prioritizes personal choice, soft skills, and intellectual freedom. At Doer, we embrace this shift by fostering individual growth through innovative learning methods.

Five Educational Models at Doer

1. Project-Based Learning

Learning Through Real-World Projects

Project-based learning encourages individuals to learn by doing rather than absorbing theoretical knowledge. At Doer, participants select projects aligned with their interests and work on them for 3 to 5 months—often creating real startups. This hands-on approach helps them develop critical problem-solving and strategic thinking skills.

2. Problem-Based Learning

Solving Real-World Challenges

Within project-based learning, participants inevitably face challenges—both technical and non-technical. Problem-based learning helps them develop the ability to identify, analyze, and solve these issues effectively. Unlike traditional education, which focuses on memorization, this model prepares individuals for real-life problem-solving.

3. Self-Directed Learning

Taking Ownership of Learning

Self-directed learning emphasizes personal responsibility in education. Instead of following strict guidelines, participants choose what and how they learn. Mentors provide support but do not dictate instructions, fostering independence, adaptability, and problem-solving skills essential for lifelong learning.

4. Social Learning

Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing

Project-based learning encourages individuals to learn by doing rather than absorbing theoretical knowledge. At Doer, participants select projects aligned with their interests and work on them for 3 to 5 months—often creating real startups. This hands-on approach helps them develop critical problem-solving and strategic thinking skills.

5. Flipped Classroom Approach

Reversing Traditional Learning Structures

The flipped classroom method, pioneered by Harvard professors, shifts the traditional learning dynamic. Instead of passively listening to lectures, students explore topics independently before engaging in discussions with mentors and peers. This method enhances comprehension, critical thinking, and active participation.

Conclusion

At Doer, we believe in reshaping education to empower individuals as independent thinkers and problem-solvers. Our innovative learning models integrate real-world projects, critical problem-solving, self-directed learning, collaboration, and discussion-based education. These approaches equip participants with practical skills, preparing them for the challenges of the modern world.
