Morphology
hands-on + learning
The compound 'hands-on' directly evokes using one’s hands/active involvement, so when combined with 'learning' it clearly denotes practical, experiential education rather than theory. This adjective+noun composition is compositional and cross-linguistically familiar, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will likely infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Hands-on learning comes from the clear image of using your own hands to touch tools, try tasks, and do the work yourself. That's why the phrase means 'learning by doing' rather than only learning from books or lectures.
