Human Rights Education A Manual for National Human Rights Institutions 5.2.3. The Learning Pyramid The Learning Pyramid model demonstrates that learning is accomplished through facilitated group dialogue, advocating open-minded appreciation and inclusion of differences. It also shows that learning by experience, rather than by absorbing information, such as listening to a lecture or reading resource material, is the most ideal approach for changing behaviours.94 Linked to the model is a continuum of outcomes that are the result of three models of education and training.95 • Transmission (or ‘banking ‘approach) – information is passed on. • Generation – new ideas have been developed. • Transformation – situations have been changed. The model encourages the human rights facilitator to ensure approaches that are experiential and participatory in order to achieve transformative and sustainable outcomes.
