Idolization is a common phenomenon in our society, where individuals admire and often emulate certain figures whom
they perceive as ideal or superior. These figures, known as idols, can range from celebrities and athletes to historical or
religious figures. People idolize these individuals for various reasons, such as their talent, success, charisma, or perceived
values and beliefs.
Idolization often begins in childhood, where children may look up to superheroes, role models, or even fictional
characters as sources of inspiration and aspiration. As individuals grow older, their idols may change, but the desire to
emulate someone they admire remains strong.
While idolization can serve as motivation and inspiration for personal growth and achievement, it can also have negative
consequences. Excessive idolization can lead to unrealistic expectations and disappointment when the idol fails to live up
to these expectations. Moreover, blindly idolizing someone can prevent individuals from developing their own identities
and pursuing their own dreams and goals.
It's important to recognize that idols are human too, with flaws and imperfections. Rather than idolizing someone blindly,
it's healthier to admire their positive qualities while acknowledging their humanity. By doing so, individuals can learn
from their idols' successes and failures while striving to become the best versions of themselves.

A. The psychological effects of idolization on individuals

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 36 to 42.
The Power of Experiential Learning
Experiential learning is a powerful educational approach that emphasizes hands-on, real-world experiences as a primary
means of learning. Unlike traditional classroom-based instruction, which often relies heavily on lectures and textbooks,
experiential learning actively engages learners in direct experiences that encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and
reflection.
One of the key principles of experiential learning is the concept of learning by doing. Instead of passively receiving
information, students actively participate in activities such as experiments, field trips, simulations, internships, and
community service projects. These hands-on experiences not only deepen students' understanding of academic concepts
but also help them develop practical skills and gain valuable insights into real-world challenges.
Experiential learning fosters a dynamic and interactive learning environment that encourages exploration,
experimentation, and discovery. By actively engaging with the material, students are better able to make connections
between theory and practice, apply their knowledge in meaningful contexts, and develop a deeper understanding of the
subject matter.
Moreover, experiential learning promotes active reflection on the learning process itself. Through guided reflection
activities, students are encouraged to analyze their experiences, identify patterns and trends, and draw connections to their
prior knowledge and personal beliefs. This reflective process not only enhances learning but also promotes personal
growth, self-awareness, and critical thinking skills.
The benefits of experiential learning extend beyond the classroom, preparing students for success in their future careers
and lives. By providing opportunities for hands-on experience and practical skill development, experiential learning helps
students develop the confidence, competence, and adaptability needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
In summary, experiential learning offers a transformative approach to education that empowers students to become active,
engaged learners who are capable of applying their knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems and make a
positive impact in their communities and beyond.
