Mediated Learning Experience (MLE) enables a learner to benefit from a world of resources around them and deposited in the learner an appetite for learning.

Founder : Prof Reuven Feuerstein (International Centre for the Enhancement of Learning Potential, Jerusalem)

MLE is define as the quality of the interaction in which human beings, suchs as you and I, teachers, caregivers, interpose themselves between the world and the individual, in order to ensure that what you want to share with the learner is perceived, grasped and integrated in a meaningful way. Thus through this process the learner builds up cognitive functions which are prerequisites for independent learning hence forth.

Feuerstein distinguishes 12 Criteria of MLE. These are the mediation of:

1. Intentionality and Reciprocity
2. Transcendence
3. Meaning
4. Feelings of competence
5. Regulation of control of behaviour
6. Sharing
7. Individuation and psychological differentiation
8. Goal setting, planning and achieving behaviour
9. Challenge
10. Awareness of a human being as a changing entity
11. Search for optismistic alternative
12. Feelings of belonging

With appropriate MLE the learner is equipped with the characteristics of human learning responsible for adaptability to new situations.
