Edgar Dale's Cone of Experience Quiz

A model illustrating different learning experiences, ranging from concrete (hands-on) to abstract (verbal symbols).

Hands-on, task-oriented learning where students actively participate.

Learning by watching others perform a task.

A process of simplifying concepts by removing less essential characteristics

Direct, tangible, and purposeful experiences in learning.

Learning using concepts and symbols, less tangible.

A model that ranks learning experiences from most concrete (hands-on) to most abstract (symbols).

Highly abstract learning using words, without visual representations.

Abstract learning using charts, maps, etc. to represent concepts.

Learning through media like audio recordings, photos, or radio.

Learning through visual recordings of events or processes

Learning by seeing and experiencing things in a physical location.

Learning by visiting and observing real-world places/settings.

Hands-on activities that learners are actively responsible for, leading to a specific outcome using all senses(seeing, handling, tasting, feeling, touching, smelling).

Learning using realistic models and mock-ups to simulate real-world situations, making concepts easier to understand.

Role-playing exercises that reconstruct situations for learning, turning learners from observers to active participants.

Visual explanations of facts, ideas, or processes using visuals like pictures, drawings, or film.

Learning experiences where learners visit real-world places to encounter objects, systems, and situations.

A framework describing how teachers' understanding of technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge interact to improve teaching with technology.

A teacher's deep understanding of the subject matter, including concepts, theories, and effective explanation.

Teacher's knowledge of teaching and learning strategies, including student learning styles and assessment.

Teacher's understanding of technology, its capabilities, and how it enhances learning.

The interaction between technology and content knowledge; technologies enable new ways to represent and manipulate data in education.

Using technology to enhance learning, based on deep understanding of content, pedagogy, and technology.

The digital computer revolutionized physics and math, leading to a focus on simulations to understand complex phenomena.

Using technology's concepts (like pumps or info-processing) to understand other things, like the heart or brain.

Understanding how teaching changes with tech tools. Knowing tech's strengths and weaknesses regarding lessons and learner development.

Knowing how to teach specific subjects effectively, by adapting to learner concepts, representing ideas in different ways, and tailoring lessons.

A more advanced understanding that combines content, teaching methods, and technology in a way that goes beyond the parts.

Adapting subject matter so it's easier for learners. Creating multiple ways to express topics to different learners.

Knowing and addressing common errors learned by students in learning specific subjects.

Linking different topic elements, showing how they relate to each other.

Understanding what learners already know, so lessons build on it.

Analyze Learners: Understanding learner characteristics to tailor instruction.

State Objectives: Defining clear, specific, measurable learning goals.

Select Methods: Choosing appropriate methods, media, and materials.

Utilize Media and Materials: Prepare chosen resources for effective use.

Require Learner Participation: Encouraging active learning.

Age, prior knowledge, learning style, and any special needs of the learners.

What learners should be able to do after instruction. Should follow SMART criteria.

Ensuring instruction and materials match curriculum standards.

Material should be presented clearly and accurately.

Instruction motivating and engaging for the learners.

Technology should be reliable and easy for users.

Ensuring resources are usable by all learners, including those with disabilities.
