Which method encourages understanding a problem better through direct engagement and experience?

The method that promotes a better understanding of a problem through direct engagement and experience is the Experience Kit. This approach typically involves creating a practical, hands-on tool that allows participants to interact with various aspects of the problem or scenario in a tangible way. By engaging directly with the situation, individuals can gain insights that might not be apparent through theory alone. This experiential learning can enhance comprehension, encourage critical thinking, and foster creativity in problem-solving.

While role playing also encourages experiential understanding by allowing individuals to simulate scenarios and take on different perspectives, the Experience Kit's focus on hands-on interaction makes it particularly effective for deeply exploring the nuances of a problem.

Inverse brainstorming, on the other hand, involves generating ideas on how to cause a problem rather than solve it, which is not necessarily about direct engagement with the issue at hand. Consensus building serves as a collaborative process aimed at reaching an agreement among group members but does not inherently involve personal experience or interaction with a problem actively.
