FIRST framework This book introduces FIRST framework, which includes five main domains, and 15 principles. These principles act together and integrate together; creating the Active Deep Learner eXperience. FIRST framework is a holistic one; it is based on other models and theories, such as: experiential learning by Kolb and John Dewey; cooperative learning by Kagan; Carl Rogers’ facilitation skills, Roy’s 6Ds and learning transfer; as well as positive psychology principles. FIRST is also inspired by the spirit of group coaching, which aims at promoting deep change and is focused on the future. It is a scientific and research based framework, developed through our experience in learning and development field; as well as measuring the impact of implementing the model via SeGa or our learners. FIRST framework is not only aiming to create active learning experience, it also targets transforming learning into performance, because incorporating both active and deep strategies creates engagement and impact. The five domains of FIRST act as layers each of them build on the previous domain and add to it, all the principles integrate with each other to form the active deep learner experience.
