Developing Reality Through Imagination: An Action Learning Approach

An individual’s brain cannot distinguish between imagination and reality; therefore, it is imperative that one imagines a better changing tomorrow that can be enhanced by learning and transformation of one’s attitude and mindset. The purpose of this study is to encourage participants to imagine a better future for the quality of their lives. Unless one knows what, one needs to achieve in life, one can likely achieve anything, therefore, imagining a better thing is the first step to achieve it. The literature about developing future of an individual appears to be abundant, but about the impact of imagination on an individual’s future seems to be a few. hence the quality of life of an individual could be directly proportional to the quality of the individual’s imagination The researcher adopted action learning approach and identified a marginalised community for this study. The participants included youth who were still at school (3) from secondary) and (2) from higher institutions of learning and (3) adult people. The participants made a total of eight (8). The purpose of selecting youth was to confirm their perceptions about their future tomorrow. Another purpose of selecting adult was to find out their experiences towards the achievement of their objectives. The participants formed a focus group that had discussions in one of the schools. Their responses were recorded in a reflective diary and transcribed and then analysed by the researcher.
